pestle

Hello, the other day while walking along an undeveloped valley's secluded creek bed (a small tributary to the West Fork Mill Creek in Hamilton County Cincinnati OHIO) I came across this.

My new field is turning up some colorful pieces. We're in desperate need of rain...no plowed fields around here have received a single rain this season. This spot should be killer once it gets wet. As for the piece I'm calling a pestle: I realize it shows zero signs of being worked. However, the...
