Got two weird but neat tubular stone forms found about 300 miles apart. One was found in the Cibolo creek dig near the Wilson County Sand Pit, and the other out I-10 west in the Mesa Country. Whose got the best idea on these puppies? Lone Star

I think they are both natural rocks, the pc left seems to have a little chisel/plane/scraper look to it however and the other pc looks like it was designed to be an implement of some abrading/sanding sort but I really just don't know for sure.

Thanks for the input. You know I've heard of sythe and sicyle sharpening stones turning up here and there on campsites. It could be a coincidence, the overlapping of modern and archaic habitation, as well. In the Bastrop dig we completely dug through a slave cabin and trash pile area while chasing 2 foot deep agate basins in the same acre of land. I wasn't there much and I know they found all kinds of stuff including CSA buttons, some coinage, toy pieces,etc.
Thanks again, Lone Star

the right in the second pic looks like it could be the back of a grooved axe, that broke on the groove, they maybe smmothed it for a toll.
