No way that is any type of discoidal just amazed, listen to hippy, and read ALL of Charl's description.

" Circle Roller discoidals are made from some of the most attractive stone materials ever used for discoidals. They are encountered in beautiful amber quartz and other translucent materials. The Circle Roller style ranges in size from two to nearly four inches in diameter."

Taking for granted that what you have there is an artifact ... I don't know that it is...
Also taking for granted that it is a quartzite material and not sandstone I would think if found on a site ..it could be either an abraiding stone for roughing up Flint while knapping or a pecking stone.
Definitely not a discoidal.
Charl gave a description for comparison ...he didn't describe that piece.
Jmo.

I Do Understand He Was Not Describing "My Piece" And Thank You For Your Help

Looks like a sandstone abrading stone if found on a site around Tampa Bay....don't know your area.

There are several types of discoidals. Mine would fall into the "nutter" category and is explained on my blog post....Found on top of a mountain ridge

Here is a sandstone and quartz discoidal I found in northern Arkansas https://ozarksdetector.wordpress.com/2011/08/10/184/

Just Amazed, I agree with Hippy and others that your find is not a discoidal or game stone. Folks have shown some nice cupped discoidals (refer to link I left). Here is another type of game stone, a biscuit discoidal, this one from RI. Biscuit discoidals have slightly convex faces and are not cupped....

 

[Charl]

Just Amazed, even my biscuit discoidal, while nicely fashioned of hardstone, is not a pretty and colorful stone so often typical of many discoidals of all varieties. Here is a page devoted to circle roller discoidals or game stones, so named because their shape caused them to roll in a circle, rather then straight as in the game chunky. You can best see the shape on the small example with catalog numbers on it in the photo:

Central States Archaeological Societies :: CIRCLE ROLLER DISCOIDALS

Here is the eBay link you attempted to post. The dealer I know to be honest and knowledgable. The artifact has the right shape for a circle roller; it's not colorful, but that's not a deal breaker necessarily.

BTW, in scrolling through eBay discoidals just briefly, I noticed a few natural rocks, demonstrating what we all know anyway, namely eBay is full of rocks posing as artifacts as well as fakes posing as real.

I still think its just a rock

Thank You For Your Help !

I bet more than half the artifacts on eBay are fake and that is a conservative estimate... Many are missed type as well.

Hey Rock, This was found in Bastrop, Texas. 1/2-1 Mile from the Colorado River on Private Property ( With Permission Of Course ).

I have seen some really good artifacts come out of TX. Very good flaking from there. You should check the creeks and rivers. You should find some real keepers, Good Luck
