How does one tell if it's not Omar?

These are actual Pitted Stones. You can see the areas that are pecked to create the divots. Some of them, and mostly the round ones, are also pecked around the outside edge from being used as Hammerstones. All personal finds and this is just a few.

Some of these look identical to some of the ones I posted. They were called omars. I think even by you.

On Reapers examples, the pecked dimple is in the center of the stone on every one. Yours has it on the end. How could anyone use it shaped like that? Natural. Gary

Exactly! omar holes are most often located where you wouldn't usually put one.

Some Omarolluks have been utilized by native americans though, you have to have an idea of what use wear looks like.

Notice how you pic shows clearly that the bottom of the hole is rough?

Imho, it doesn't show any polish or use wear.

Clearly you didn't look at the pictures close enough because there is only one hole. The "second hole" isn't a hole.
