3 in. long x 1 in. wide x 3 mm. thick
I found this while walking on a mesa in McKinley County, New Mexico near the village of Ramah. This was lying on the surface in an area with several overgrown ruins; the area around these ruins are full of pottery shards, stone flakes or cast-offs, and the occasional point.
Several inquires have produced guesses that this is either either a tool or a toy; one person identified it as pipestone. I suspect one of these guesses regarding the purpose of the object is correct. I would absolutely love to know more - if this is a tool, what kind? IS this pipestone? Was this used as a toy?
I've done little research online to look for similar objects. The pooching around I HAVE done brought me to this forum.
Thanks - I look forward to hearing more!
