The smaller one seems to have a quartz inlay. These were found in parking lot gravel.

I would like any feed back on this thanks.

Where were these found?

Country, State, Department, county or region?

I found them in some river rock gravel. I also found a section that wasn’t shaped at all. It was found in United States, state of Nebraska, in the Sandhills region. Obviously the gravel isn’t local. Where it was harvested I have no idea.

These are sections of the phragmocone of baculites, most likely cretaceous in age.  The Pierre shale is loaded with them.  They are also called "buffalo stones" as they have been found to have been used as hunting effigies.
