🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Stone tool or celt?

[I say Potato. What say u?]

Found this at the bottom of the Potato River in Hubbard County, MN. I believe it is granite and it has a full groove. Archaic period hammer stone?

Thanks in advance for the help and opinions.

Very cool find. Now, as to whether it's an ancient hammer stone or not..that question I'll leave to the experts.

Definitely an artifact. It shows pecking over the entire surface. It might be finished, or might still be an unfinished preform. It’s not granite. It’s a fine grained igneous rock called diabase. Diabase was the go to rock for celts and axes in the upper Midwest. Nice save!
