This is a spear point covered in sand that has become a hard crust on the outside. It was found with a hundred other stone tools I uncovered by accident while metal detecting with my son. That spot needs fully excavated because there's something else there and I filled it back in to save it.
I shaved the backside of this with a razor and it revealed red dotted artwork. Can anyone tell what it is? Maybe that tapir in the bottom right with a tooth to match... Or this dolomite reptile head? This is either a fossil cast or carving that's permineralized into dolomite with calcium carbonate on the bottom so the "just a natural rock" comment that everyone wants to say right now is ridiculous if you do your research before throwing that out there.
