Cylindrical object found in creek- is this an artifact?

[Ryan6060]

Found this object while walking around a local creek (not the same one I found the item from my previous post). It is a perfect cylinder and is stone. It is broken on at least 1 end and maybe both.

Please share your opinions on what this might be?

Thanks!

Carbon battery core? Found a whole one in a creek once. If it leaves a black mark, it's carbon. Feels kinda stone-like though.

Thanks for the info guys! I didn't realize that Native Americans had batteries!

They used them in their bikes. I know you have heard of the Indian motorcycle!

That's awfully big for a battery core. It may be a core sample from drilling through bedrock.

I'm with SRV, looks like a core sample to me.
