Doesn't look like its been tooled and it doesn't appear to be the type of rock used for tools either.

But I'm no expert, and that's who you'll have to see to be sure.

Do you have a local archeology club? If you do, go see them.

Some kind of hammer was my first thought, a weapon of some sort. But you have a very interesting stone there at first glimpse. I will check out your thread.

If I get some encouraging opinions, I will most certainly take it to some professional to take a look. Thanks for input

looks like a pestle from a pair of grinding stones you should go back to where you found it and see if u can find the mortar that goes with it

Thanks for your opinion, there has certainly been a small lake at some point. And very near still a large swamp. Interesting

Its a protected area, the whole forest. So Im not sure if I should go to do any digging by myself


But have to admit that its very tempting idea..

Not condoning any illegal activity but it doesn't hurt to look. Private individuals have reported amazing finds. If say a bone fragment is spotted whether it's on protected land or not it should be left alone and reported immediately. Much info can be gathered from the surroundings if the find is left undisturbed.

Although it's fun to look for such things we shouldn't be selfish treasure hunters. I never dig for what I find. Sometimes I check areas of high erosion allowing mother nature to reveal what's hidden...no dino bones yet! Good luck and have fun.
