Game ball artifact or geofact?

This was found in colorado by a friend. Just wondering what it is. Its very heavy.

I don't have time read every post this am, but has anyone mentioned or considered Thunder Egg? They are quite often pretty round. If that were mine, I wouldn't be wasting any time sawing it in half and finding out.

I have several of those that are from know sites but mine are polished smooth.

By the way digordie, I love your profile picture of the briefcase axe! I recently read an article about that axe on the Hawkeye State Archaeological Society of Iowa's website.

"This is a 3/4 groove axe of the late Archaic period dating to the 1500 B.C. range. The axe is 8 1/2 inches wide by 15 inches long and fits nicely into a briefcase. The axe weighs 25 pounds 4 ounces."

Thanks I wish I had been the one to find the briefcase axe. I saw it at a show once and couldn't believe my eyes. The owner was a really great guy who took time to talk to everyone and let us take pics. He is a doctor I believe.Its an amazing artifact.

Ala natural
Some pretty creative thinking though

I find these in the creek. I brought 1 home and am going to crack it open. These are natural. Mine is weathered more as you can see but there are more I have left out there.

welcome to the forum 93randon. You seem pretty sure of yourself. What about that piece tells you that?

Yes they did use stone cannon balls in the past. It would have to be perfect roundness to be one.
