Post by: iowabow on June 29, 2011, 12:10:11 pm
What was this used for? I thought it looked a lot like my abrading stones.

That could be an abrading stone but it looks suspiciously like a peice of glacial till. Is it flat on just one side or both?

Looks an awful lot like an indian sex stone, probably made out of leverite.

Could it be fossilized coral or fosilized mastedon tooth?

I was just messing with ya. Those are awful suspicious lines, but nature is awful suspicious as well.

Its hard to tell. I've found a couple abrading stones here in TX. Yours looks like one but it has a lot of weathering on it, or it seem to be. What's it made of? Looks like limestone which can weather fast. Being found in a creek could account for it. Congrats on your find. Many people don't realize stone artifacts aren't always made of flint.
