Is this a hand tool?

I found this near Malibu/Topanga canyon. It looks to be tooled but I’m no expert. That’s why I come here 😌 Any thoughts?

Negative, it's a natural rock. I'm not seeing any indication that it's been modified.

Better to ask than to always wonder. It’s natural and the material looks like a slate/ shale type. It’s a layered stone type and would separate or break with any type of pressure applied to it.

Thanks! I was actually drawn to what I thought was a fossil on the ‘front’ , but I think the lines are from water erosion. I appreciate the feedback!

Sorry, as others said, it is natural...

The shape would make any of us give it a look but I agree it's natural.
