Native American stone identification

[Matt Lucas]

Can anyone help in identifying what this was used for? I found in a creek on my property with a lot of other grinding stones and tools. [/PHP]

Native Americans would frequently pile up random rocks to watch the white settlers try to figure out what they used that rock for.

all the while shopping online through celestial methods with the Vikings (Ikea)

I'm only seeing natural rock, the two channels in 1st picture look natural, most likely a softer fossil that fell out or deteriorated..

a creek full of round grinding rocks?

Sorry, but that is a natural stone and not an artifact.

Just waiting for BWB to chime in on this one

You just know it's Jesuit and has some mystical meaning. lol

Natural creek rock.

I agree that it is a naturally formed stone, but on the other hand, maybe it's a game stone used in the first prehistoric Mr. Potato Head.

I admit I would keep it

 

[Matt Lucas]

Yeah I'm gonna keep mr. potato head. Thanks for taking a look.

Check over on the rock thread....they can at least tell ya what kind of rock it is

I kind of miss the Jesuit post, I get a kick out of them

I sense bad juju if Mr Potato Head not returned to creek with Mrs Potato Head.

No more little grinding rocks for you!

Note: Certainly that is a Jesuit Cross on the front. (Special SGH IR enhanced imaging)



By any chance is this your yard?

I like it and would have brought it back too, the markings are curious.

I would have said maybe a cooking stone but those rocks like that in Alabama are usually a type of quartz inside and will explode when heated. I like it as it just looked like a potatoe.
