The perfectly round one is a geode.

Actually, that perfectly round one is more than likely a Concretion and not a Geode.

All of the other stones look to be natural to me and not Metates, Nutting Stones, or Paint Pots.

These are all actual Metates and Nutting Stones. See the difference.

That's quite a collection you have laying around grim.

 

[painterx7]

[painterx7]

[The Grim Reaper]

Mine show peck marks inside all of those holes. I don't see that in any of your pictures. That is the difference.

 

[painterx7]

Thanks for your time and information your the man do you have a close up so I can see the peck marks on yours for a reference in the future ?

I've got one handy. "Nutting stone"
There is a divot on the other side also.
Painter... Do you have any with a divot on both sides?
Almost all of mine show at least some useage wear on both faces.

 

[painterx7]

Yes I have some just like yours with just the divot found them on sites I will get those pics tomorrow boss check this out

 

[painterx7]

These are a lot alike

 

[GatorBoy]

Here is a big piece of flint.. "compressed algae" look at the divots in the limestone cortex.



Here is a chunk off the end of a nodule of some nice coastal plains chert.




Here is the other side.
Notice how the natural divot is irregular and the material surrounding it has a swirled look.

Mine are nothing like that gator

 

[GatorBoy]

Ok

 

[GatorBoy]

This is recently quarried limestone used for erosion control on a local man made canal.
Add some water wear to this.

 

[painterx7]

[GatorBoy]

[painterx7]
