🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Maine native grinding stone? Anchor? I can’t tell..

[Ohno52]

So found in Cumberland county Maine I noticed its odd shape at first but then saw that one edge had been ground down. It fits two hand very nicely. With that as a factor I thought grinding ston. but as I was doing some research I saw some stones that looked a little similar and where anchors. either way neato find. let me know what you think.

Natural stone formed my mother nature with water

It's natural. The flat spots show no grinding or different patina than the rest of the stone.

It is an interesting shape. I can see how it caught your attention.
