Looks like an iron piece. Is it metal? If I see that in the field there's no way I don't bring it home.

Looks like it has writing on in in white ink?

I don't have a clue but am interested to see what it is. Reminds me of the mines they would set in the water for ships ..... Except 500 times smaller.

If it is natural I would say a concreation.

HAS IT BEEN CAST IN A MOLD, OR IS A ROCK BEEN WORK BY HAND?
IT ALSO LOOKS LIKE A HANDKNOB FOR SOME TYPE OF A MACHINE
EXCEPT FOR THE MIDDLE TIT USUALL IT WOULD HAVE A ROUGH
HOLE IN IN TO BE DRILLED AND TAPPED.

SORRY FOR THE CAPS, GONE TO FAR IN TO THE TYPING

BEFOR I NOTICED IT. THANKS, FOR POSTING, MARION

Writing looks like it says "Indiana Co Pa"

Doesn't look natural to me.

Its one of those ancient mans back massagers the women used it on their mans back after a long days hunt
Kidding of course looks neat whatever it is even it its natural. Lets hear the story on it as to where it was found field or creek would be a good start.

My first thought was a Concretion. They can form is all different kind of shapes and if you look through the pictures in this link you can several that look similar in style with "knobs" sticking out. Very cool piece and it definitely would have come home with me.

Then the purpose of this post is a quiz...

 

[Jon Stewart]

How do you know that it is man made pottery from Pennsylvania?

Because he lives in PA and he made it...... I'm jk I was wondering the same thing

Found this today. Not sure if it's any help but I don't think its pottery. I was thinking pestle. Mine has a worn cupped area on it as well.





Cupped area

It belongs to a friend of mine and that is where it was found

You know who made it, what it is made of and then you say a friend of yours found it

Not sure what you want to know but if I was you I would ask the maker what it was.

it sure looks like it says "....land..."

I was thinking some type of kiln separator, but it doesn't looking like any I've seen.
