Found this on the banks of the Ohio river back in September, need help to identify it

[Woodland mystery]

I found this item in the Ohio river near Wheeling WV. Its made of a green slate material with small fossils in it. About a foot long sharp all the way around it. Weighs about a pound. If you can help with the identification I truly appreciate it.

I would say that it's a hoe or spade. It's very similar to one that I found long ago. Actually the first artifact that I ever found. Nice find!

You're not going to like this answer but I am very confident that is just a piece of naturally weathered limestone. I find pieces just like that along the Ohio River in Scioto county Ohio.

I have to go along with Reaper it doesn't show use on any of the ends from what I can see. That's mother nature doing her thing.

Not very often grim misses one.

Yes it does look natural and it could be real water worn but Im not from your area so I would say Grim is correct due to he is from your area and has walked the rivers in your state.
