I found this yesterday. A young fellow that I try to mentor, we will call him "Jasper", says that I should toss it away as trash or use it as a paper weight. I have an idea that it is a grindstone.


It was in a field of flakey debris as you see. The only rock of it's kind in the area. Before I realized that it was probably a grindstone, I picked it up to look at it and then returned it to take a insitu pic.

Well, was it a tool? What say you guys?

I'm going to side with the masses and say that's definately an artifact in the context your found it.
