This collection here was all found in the same area & within a few weeks time frame. Posey County, Southwestern Indiana, USA. All my own finds! There may be a few throw-aways....but ahhh...We'll see. Thanks for checking these out. Anything you can identify...And I am trying to scale down on my collections.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but everything you have pictured here is a naturally formed stone and not artifacts. I am sure you will hear this quite a few more times from other members. None of those stones show any evidence of ever being altered by ancient man.
 

Some have lines around as if being tied off at times, & yes I had stored these awhile back with fossils, separating the areas & times found. I was quite younger & more naïve then..so I will triple check any & all in question. I appreciate you calling my hand at this, but I realized I failed in up close & personal shots. Lol. I will make sure from now on to do this! Thanks for your input!

I agree, these may be Indian sex stones.
 

Also, when you (or anybody else) take pictures of artifacts, please place them on a neutral background. Busy backgrounds like the blanket make it more difficult to decipher what we are looking at.
 

All I am seeing are natural rocks..
 

All natural I would reference recent thread stone tools. When looking look for distinct alteration by man... TGR section on stone tools is full of great examples.
 

give us multiple close ups of the couple you see as indisputable, place them on the table without a backdrop.
 

Thanks for the advice..I will definitely tone down the colors! Didn't think of that. Oops!
 

Not trying to discourage you but they are rocks with natural erosion.

Trust me..I am taking notes & listening well...learning too, which is a grand thing! The ones I dispute, I will def. keep until I post up close & personal [lol] photos w/reasoning....then if y'all dispute those, In the flower bed they may go!!! Thanks!
 

it is a pleasure to work with folk that learn as they go.
