Interesting piece of banded slate???

[musky44]

found this over a year ago. not really sure what it is or was going to be? maybe some kind of preform in the works or maybe an atlatl weight? thought u-all might have some ideas or maybe something in ur collections to compare it to. thanks, mike

looks like a preform bannerstone to me.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Looks to me like they were in the process of making a Geniculate Bannerstone.

I would agree with bannersone preform, very interesting find Musky.

thanks for the help guys. hey srv, this probably is a dumb question but is there a difference in a geniculate bannerstone and a regular old bannerstone. thanks again
