Any ideas???

[Mojavehunter]

Found a camp site with flakes everywhere, came across this. Its about the size of a coconut and looks like it hasn't been moved for a long time. Don't know if
its anything but it had me interested. On private land but I left it alone out of respect for the site. Any ideas??

Looks like a mano, not sure of how big it is though.

Yeah I should have taken better pics but I did pick it up, its about the size of a cantaloupe

Closer pictures and pictures of all sides would help. May very well be a mono but need a little more to make a real guess. Looks like sandstone.

Mano IMO. Good find. I would have brought it back. Maybe a metate is nearby.

I'm major new at this, what's a metate? Ill get some more photos of it next time I go there.

The metate is the stone basin that held the grain that was being ground, a mano is the grinding stone.

Could be a Hammer Stone also if it’s dense and heavy.
