Carved stones

I pulled these out of the bank of the Little Sioux River in Northwest Iowa this weekend. Any ideas what they are?

Marks are from scraping on other rocks in the river. Naturally formed.

Still, they are interesting..

That’s what I wanted to make sure of. Thanks

The first one looks like plow scratches. Is the riverbank on the edge of a field?

Scratched by the movement of glaciers.

Natural scratches, not man made.
