Is it just a rock or a stone tool?

[Csg]

Found this buried on my property in Sacramento Mountains. Picture on my jeans is after rubbing dirt off, other after I get washed it. Appreciate opinions. The hole is what really got me curious. Thx

First off, welcome to Tnet Csg.
That's definitely an interesting rock find, I would've brought that home too.

Maybe re-post your question in this forum to get some other opinions as well... North American Indian Artifacts

..... not an artifact. Flowing water or water erosion is the force that makes holes like that. I have a section in my rock garden for rocks with holes in them, I pick up and take them home every chance I get.

Thx I was wondering how the holes got there!

Could also have been a fossil like a crinoid that fell out, fossils fall out of stones a lot and leave holes where they were.

Picture below is crinoids, when they fall out they leave holes. If you look inside the hole on yours you may see matching rings, pictures posted don't allow us to see inside the hole.

Thx that a possibility it looks like some ridges in the hole. Are cuboid from around the same period as amminoids? We have rocks with those on the property.

Sorry Just a piece of Sandstone? that resembles an artifact (Axe)

I’d say a piece of limestone with a crinoid fossil that’s fallen out leaving the round hole. Wether limestone or sandstone it’s not the right material for most artifacts.
