Maybe some type of hide scraper or to get the fat off the hide. I have something similar but like you say I picked it up cause it was unusal.

I believe that's a PPF Molly.






















That would be a Petrified Platypus Foot. lol

Seriously though, I'm sure it's just a natural rock, but it is a very cool looking piece.

Some indian probably picked that up and brought it home for the same reason you did, because it looks cool.

Goes to show what I mean when I speak of the context in which it was found.
It's prolly natural, but I'm sure that the natives had it. It would be intresting to find out where the nearest deposite of that type of stone is to you.
BTW, I woulda kept it too dear. :)

Molly, a "bopper" is a tool used to take flakes off a spall, to thin it down to preform shape, they are called billets also...

Oh I see, Thankyou for educating me. I will try this stone out, just to see what the rock looks like after I bop it.

Thanks guys. :)

Shawn I will keep it. It's pretty obvious that Indians picked up natural stone too, just like we do. Also
the context of which it was found. I haven't seen any stones quiet like this material before..

Thanks for the info.

Molly.
