I'd say yes. I don't see how mother nature could have put those lines and dots on that rock. Just my opinion. Gary

I'm a "yes", also but beats me what it was used for. Cool.

Jesuits...

I want to say natural, fossilized mud cracks like this rock I found but yours breaks that sort of pentagonal pattern and the grooves seem less weathered. So I don’t think that’s it. But I also don’t see why a native would chose to carve a rock like that...

Too precise to be weather look close at the t shapes at bottom they line up directly on both sides?

 

[Older The Better]

To clarify myself, my best natural explanation would be mud cracks but I don’t think that’s the case here. I agree your rock has patterns that differ from what you see in mud cracks. I don’t know what it is but I’d rule out mud cracks... sometimes eliminating options helps to figure out what it is.

It looks like it’s been altered by man but, I don’t know what it is. Have any other Native American artifacts been found nearby?

natural, I have seen that same stone type, same color and lines on rocks on beaches before.
