Florida Sand Stone(?) pendant?

[PetesPockets55]

I found this on the beach locally back in Feb(?).
I know this is probably just a natural piece but the hole is well centered and tapered so I thought I would ask for opinions and help as to whether this might be a pendant.
(Hope the images are good enough)







Thanks for looking and any insight you can offer.

Drilling by using cane or wood with sand as the cutting agent wears the drilling shaft -- as the hole gets deeper, it gets narrower, each hole ending up somewhat conical.

One of these from each side meeting in the middle = bi (two) conical (cones).

I had to look it up. I have over 20 pages open trying to learn. Thats not counting the projectile points pages.

Thanks for the link Outlaws15.

Yes.

Thanks for the confirmation about the terminology.

Thanks Uniface. I love learning new "stuff" and using the sand as the cutting agent fills a gap in my understanding.
it's not necessarily the drill that cuts the stone, but the sand acting as an abrasive.

Hopefully my grey matter will retain that info.

Not technically "omarolluk" but more likely the same kind of process and maybe an eroded out echinoderm...
