🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Marble?

[Crumb]

I was searching my cornfield for some flint points or artifacts of any kind and happened to find this. My question is is this an old marble cause the marbles I have found ain’t clay or ceramic I’m guessing that’s the material. Or is it something that could be a native artifact?

Here is a link to some reading on clay marbles, which is what I think you have.

I vote clay marble. 19th century. Some were made earlier of course. The great German swirl marbles were first made in the 1840's, however, not everyone could afford them.
