:help: I went hunting a couple corn fields for arrowheads and ran into these a couple weeks apart. The second rock sparkles a little bit in the right light. In the little divot hole there looks like there's crystals in it. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanx. :headbang:

It appears you have stream-abraded colonial corals. Sometimes these are filled in solid, sometimes not. Here's an example of one that is not filled in:

First looks like a portion of a tooth: has dentine still on portion, slightly porous bone on the rest. Similar to coral, but not an exact match, I think.

The second stone does look like coral to my eye.
