grinding/smoothing tool or just a stone?

[captain redbeard]

it has 2 smoothed grooves on each side, and fits in my hand very naturall, just not sure because I found this in an unturned fields with the rough side sticking up. the grooves on the sides make me question it. Thanks for the help

It looks like those stones with divots that rock has opened a thread about. I'll bet it's some kind of tool.

I'm not too experienced with artifacts yet, I do a lot of "research", but like getting an opinion by people that know what they are talking about. Thanks peaches

That's a nice looking hammerstone you have there

 

[old digger]

I agree with Gator, it looks like a ''hammer stone''. It may have also been used as one of those ''Nutting stones'', if I am correct.

I agree with everyone else, cool artifact. Nice clear pics also, thanks for the view.

very nice hammer. look for broken rocks in the field that should be the processing spot you should find points there.
