Found recently close to a indian shell bed on the river here.
Is it a grindstone?
Is it a hammerstone?
Or is it neither and just a very weird fashioned rock by mother nature?
Only have my cell phone for pics.(camera has seen better days from being on the boat with me :( )

It looks to me to be a Discoidal that was just never finished. You can see where they were polishing the sides to get it more round and where they were pecking out both faces to cup it out on both sides. Definitely worked by man and an artifact.

Very cool find.

Thanks SRV, :thumbsup: on the assitance.I knew it looked like it was worked enough to make me keep it.So I did and thought I'd ask you all about it.Yea are rivers here are big this one is 6 1/2 miles across and 20 to 30 ft deep so water don't run hard here like up in the mountians.Wave action wears more then the flow.Discoidal was a new word for me and was neat to read about. :thumbsup:
