Found along the Wabash in Tippecanoe county.
The third pic isn't so good. It was hard to prop
up on the scanner, but is more symmetrical than
what the picture shows.

Does the groove on what looks to be the poll end have pecking or is it natural? It looks like a large Celt or maybe a Digger/Hoe of some kind. Interesting looking piece, that's for sure.
 
It's almost fossil like. It came out of the bank with shale.
But found flint chips and fcr. It's a little over 2 inches.
 
Whoa, my bad. I never even looked at the ruler on the side to see how big this piece was. I was thinking it was huge, like 6 or 7 inches long. Being that small I doubt it's a Hoe and more than likely might be a natural stone.
 
Haha.... It came out of a ramp where they poured a concrete
slab then pushed it down the old rock bar that starts to come
out of the bank. It's a very symmetrical stone with a very slight
groove. The other end almost looks like a mold line.

Ha Ha, I never noticed the ruler either. I vote natural rock now :D
 
It almost looks like limestone. I'll pass on this one though. I don't know one way or the other if it's anything. I'd have picked it up and kept it, and thrown it in the "Dunno" box.
 
DZ,

I have found a little thing about half the size of yours. There was no way I was gonna throw it back down. Maybe yours is what mine is , whatever that may be!

Happy Huntin' , Bent-Twig.

Afternoon,

LOL, that is exactly what I was thinking. Arm off a doll. Could be something else though...interesting...definately man made.....how old is the question.

I think I see a real mold line there in the second photo
to the right edge and it looks like porcelain. Same idea
I had, a miniature porcelain doll or penny doll arm.
