Fossilian Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Is this something sort of Native American tool? I found this at Big Brook this morning. Photos not loading... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Looks like a concretion; many of them have holes and are very deceiving. If, in fact, the object in question is native american, then there would probably be other signs of work on the tool. As this does not seem the case, I believe it is a concretion. Well at least there is always next time, right? : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossilian Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 But it does have like a small crevice on the back side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 It is a concretion. Often the center of a concretion will be less stable than the outside portions. When it breaks the center will erode out faster and You have the results in hand. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."
