So far I've struck out finding alot of interesting rocks that have turned out to be natural formations but I think this might be the beginning of a really fun hobby. IMG_20171030_191720.jpg IMG_20171030_191741.jpg

That piece has definitely been altered by the hand if man. Either a really rough Blank/Preform or possible Chopper used to break open bones to get marrow.

Definitely a tool there. Good find. I cant say what it is but a scraper or axe are good guesses I think.

Lots of odd looking rocks here in Arkansas. And have no idea what they are other than rocks.

Grim is spot on, it it was used as a hoe it sould have some polish on the tip, could have been used as a chopper, more likely a preform.

Both pieces are the same piece, both sides of same piece.

I never said it was a finished hoe blade that was used every day, just that it reminded me of one. To speculate, it's a pre-form that could have taken many directions after further work.
