I found this stone on a bank of Mt.Fork River coming out of Broken Bow lake Oklahoma. I know it isn't an arrowhead and although I found it in a river, the shape, angles and surfaces are uncanny with a uniform thickness of about 3/8". Any opinions? Thanks!

lol, yes, more pics would help.

im no expert at all but that kind of resembles a preform of a pendant. be cool to see some other angles.
 
Maybe a better pic, musky44, but there are tons of Caddo artifacts in that area. Saw your avatar. Are you a falconer? My son in Oklahoma is into that.
 
UGH! I can't get this camera to focus!
 
That's cool. That is what this is all about. Thanks to those who replied.
 
Realize this will be regarded by most of yall as irreverent, however I am so curious as to how Mother Nature makes/creates a perfect ISOSCELES triangle...ugh...rock as seen in this picture.
When I study the written reports of the early English explorers who came to our area and reported upon the 'games' which the native Americans played, I must wonder---could these be game pieces of some sort ? Or better yet- for my inquiring mind is the question of how is it that I have found dozens of these 'stones' buried in groups of 5-11 near the river where I hunt. This area is a known and well documented village site. In fact,one evening when the night sky was completely cloud free (and, having several glasses of wine as I pondered the universe and these uniform 'rocks'), I held the 'rock' at arms length and aligned the various TRIANGLE points with Major Stars in the night sky.....coincidence I ask myself--or might I move beyond myopic thinking to consider that maybe-just maybe these pieces are more than mere rocks.....
[Fully understand that this 'rock' is quite small-and my finds are considerably larger---but----but---we do know even the children had game pieces...]
 
It is just a creek worn rock. You can find em shaped like anything you want..... Houses, chickens, cars, buses, etc. mother nature will make em for ya...... After all these years I have yet to find kids toys...... Why..... because I think that..... they had more important things to do.... Like keeping the family alive..... John
 
mr. moderator...i have pm-d you twice with a question...maybe i have a problem of some sort with pm-ing?...i've seen a couple of your posts since i pm-d...hope you see this:)...as for the triangular rock, i believe it to be shaped by man...it's not a rock that "resembles" something like an animal when held just so; it "is" a triangle...jmho...thanks... I haven't got a pm from you Sir... Try again.... I answer p.ms. I also disagree with you on it being man made..... ;D John
