Need help-stone with grooves and lines...

[autographcollector11]

This was supposedly found on a Mississippian era site-lots of tools were found.
the stone is somewhat abrasive-the surface is not extremely hard but notice the lines etched on the surface. They go on different directions and so appear to be quite random. I thought it may be glacial but does this look like it may be something used for something? Found in Illinois on private property.

thanks

Plow marks? Looks natural to me.

Yeah- but The property has never been plowed-pretty much the way it was centuries ago......

Where are you from? It could be grooves from being moved by a Glacier.

Hard to say but it could have been used as an abrader for flintknapping arrowheads.

Looks like glacial grinding.

Doesn't look like abrader..

Likely natural
