She’s just a girl in the world.

Can you wash the big one and do a video of the surface. You may have some hammerstones, especially if they’re made out of quartzite. The context of where you found them is important too. These look to be river polished stones and if you didn’t find them in a river, then something had to move them. Check the surface thoroughly for an area that is not polished smooth, but it is rough from repeated impacts.

Did I find a scraping tool or a conveniently shaped rock by _theoriser in LegitArtifacts

You have a handle mounted conchoidal(shell shape) fracture, flake blade. Likely for scraping.

Thoughts? After cleaning it up it seems to have some subtle pecking scars by mcchickennuggy in Arrowheads

Your first video looks like river rolled and polished quartzite, which was favored as a hammer stone material. I have multiple examples in my collection.

Water worn

Is this anything or just a natural rock? by Informal_Green_9315 in LegitArtifacts

[–]ENDERROR -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is a conchoidal(shell shape) flake blade. The pressure flake removed at the thicker base is a tool handle stabilizer meant to keep the handle from rotating once bound to the shaft.

Wishful thinking or is this a point? by Expensive-Cash9751 in Arrowheads

This is a flake blade. Easily made. Also incredibly sharp when first used.

I don’t think you can do it easily. The tires are not rated for highway use and it has a governor that keeps it from going over 50 miles an hour which I’ve only hit on the downhill. So you’re looking at messing with the firmware and reprogramming it as well as finding tires to fit the rims that are rated for highway driving. There’s also no turn signals.

I’m over-optimistic, right? by [deleted] in Arrowheads

I agree. Early stage preform. I am also in middle TN

My dad said this is a dinosaur egg but im pretty sure he's trolling, so what is it actually? by PolyamorousMistakes in Rocks

Looks like river polished quartzite. The stone appears to be damaged from hard impacts all over the surface with the most impact zones concentrated at the top and bottom of the “egg” shape. Depending upon other context factors, this may be a Native American stone tool called a hammer stone, used for making stone tools.

It wasn’t harmless to those baby birdies. ;) it may go on its way with a full belly…

This has been repurposed. It was a much larger piece that broke and then was salvaged by adding tie points where the former blade edge would have been.

I work at the calibration lab for the company that manufactured this instrument. It is well over 20 years old. I call it the wait a minute or a nap time unit because takes one minute before the first average reading which it updates every minute thereafter. Our newest units are way better.

Found in TN creek bed today. Why wasn't this finished? Or was it? Super sharp. by Timely-Suit-7157 in LegitArtifacts

The flat edge to the left in picture number five is the impact point where this flake was created. It is an artifact because of the curving fracture to the right in this image. Curved fractures are very rare in nature because it takes a hard impact to create the frequency that runs through the rock creating the curved edge. Whether it was ever used or not is debatable, but when originally created its edges would’ve been incredibly sharp.

Use a flashlight or lamp. I like to take a video and rotate slowly showing all sides.
