After handling it, I noticed it fit perfectly in my hand when grabbing it on either of the long edges, and wondered if it could have been a Native American tool or weapon. It's a little flatter on one side than the other, the long edges are smoother than the ends, and one long edge is thinner than the other. I looked online at examples of NA tools and weapons, and read about how to tell the difference between an ordinary rock and a NA item, but couldn't see any specific characteristics of a NA item on this rock. Does anyone have opinions one way or the other?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
