What do you think? A hunter found this in the woods hunting. They pulled it out with a machine and now it sits in a town park.

Knowing the size would help a little, but it looks like a large stationary mortar for grinding grain probably coarse .

It’s huge Tony. Not something that was moved around. It was made out of a very large rock. I wish I knew the story about this rock. And why it was made and used for.

I don't know what it is but I know what it's not, an Indian artifact. Neat looking rock for sure.

I wonder what an archaeologist thoughts would be on this rock.

He could write 3, or 4 pages on it right or wrong!
