My friend found this uniquely shaped rock by a creek many years ago. Could it be a #stonetool? It fits in one’s hand perfectly. It’s rounded with no flake marks. I compared it to #neolithic ground stone tools but did not find one with an angle or point like this. Any resources we could use to identify?
