How big is it? Something for size reference would be great. Also, where was it found?

this is very questionable
can you give us more info......everything you can tell us about it?....where found? (no need to be specific)
if you would decide to move it to the rock/gems forum i can help but this one has me a bit puzzled

Found at an Algonquin village site on the Currituck Sound in North Carolina. Lots of points there and pot shards. Found eroding out of the beach as the site erodes into the Sound more and more each year. Always good hunting after a storm.

I thought the same thing Steve. It has a look of a Biscuit Discoidal, but if it's as small as I think it is then it's probably natural unless it's a Bead preform that just never got drilled.

1st pic shows a slight dimple on top. When I said no I wasnt meaning it wasnt I was meaning I didnt know. If it isnt a type of grinder then it is some type of game stone. Game stones or rocks we have here are usually nothing more than a piece of sandstone that has been altered or just a rock that has been altered a bit then polished. If you hadnt seen one before from Ga you would think its just a small river rock. The ones you find Larson are very well made which is complete different direction here. Some are made from pottery here also which usually are nice.

I have found a few game stones here. This piece just puzzles me!

A friend of mine has a piece like this made of jasper. I remember him telling me it was used to smooth and shape the inside of pots. I always thought it was a small discoidal, regardless of what he said. Now, I'm second guessing discoidal. Being that you found this along with pottery. Strange!!

It reminds me of a bolo stone, but the flat side has me rethinking that.

Okay- everyone's going to laugh at me- but if I didn't know it was a rock, I'd say it looks just like (what I know as) an 'owl ball'. That little wad of bone and other stuff an owl regurgitates after digesting what it could of its prey. I find them all the time (and leave them...) So- I say fossilized owl ball!! (and a very nice one too, I should ad!)
