What is this stone thing?

[RelicDude]

My sister found this stone in the woods today in northwest CT. I have no idea what it is but it's been manipulated somehow. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Looks natural to me, but I'm on my phone too.

Hmm thanks but I don't think its natural. Sorry for the terrible pictures.

It looks too symetrical to be natural to me, I'm no expert though. Just give it a little time, things are slow in the artifacts section, but eventually, one of the experts will chime in. Sit tight bud.

You know I find all types of shapes in the creeks around here. Some look like artifacts but most aren't even worked. Your pictures leave allot to be desired but from what I can see I believe it is a natural formed rock. I hate to say that but unless you can get some better pics of the ends I am saying natural. Thanks for the post, rock

Nature is full of symmetrical things, stones included. And the piece is question is not really that symmetrical either.

It looks to me that your daughter has found a "whet" stone, used to sharpen Scythes, sickles and generally any thing with a blade. They are commonly mistaken as an Indian artifact which would show deeper lines and grinding marks.

I think you might be right about that thank you.

You were saying...?

I thought I kept it pretty simple and clear, is there something you don't get? I wouldn't hang my hat on "may have found", and if it is a whetstone, thats GREAT, it still isn't that symmetrical.
