Unknown Specimen

[Helopilotguy]

I found these in the Oregon Outback near Fort Rock, OR. Any ideas? Are they both lava drops from surrounding volcanoes? Is the larger one a meteorite?

The large one is super dense (heavy) and very smooth. The smaller one was found in the same area (within 50 yrds) and it is not as smooth and has a jagged edge on the back where it broke off from another piece (which I did not find).

Also on the 1st one don't hit it with a hammer it looks like a artifact called a "Cone" They are very hard to find and could fetch some $ to the rite collector. That size less than 50$ but still a nice piece.
