Hi folks, discovered this on the same shore as other stone tools on Georgian Bay (Great Lakes)...Ojibwa Native area. Very odd looking, any ideas? 4 inches long,1 inch thick.
Thanks.

Thanks ck, now that (thanks to the knowledgeable people here), it makes me think back and wonder how many stone artifacts I've tossed back on the shore for years!...Freaky thing about this 'arrow shaft straightener' is...IT was sitting on a shelf with.......MY hunting arrows!!! Weird!!

Interesting find! Most stone arrow shaft straighteners that I have seen were a complete circle or hole. But that one may certainly have been used in such a manner.

Thanks old digger, yeah, I thought it was probably "just another odd shape stone"! ha.

Wow, real nice - I love anything drilled or obviously shaped for tooling. Very unique, thanks for the pic

Unique alright, but I am going to have to say it more than likely a geofact.
