Walking along the bank of the Mississippi river in Minnesota I found this natural formation intact.

Imagine how many years that little rock had to be in the perfect current to sit there and vibrate on the larger one in order to wear into it like that. Not a geologist, so I'm assuming that is what happened lol. Awesome find.

Great find! Looks like an early attempt at making a duck decoy, unfortunately it sank!
