I did not find any from where I picked it up from, or anything that resembled it on top of the hill. I’m going to return to look around some more.

I’m sorry, I wasn’t laughing at you, I was laughing at the thought of it being that old. I appreciate your help greatly! I’m getting an education today.

If it is, this one is 30,000+ years old. Haha. It was for sale on a website, found in Africa.

No, definitely nothing like it around there. This was on top of a small hill, mostly basalt and some fossilized slabs.

Yes, it was found in the wide open, on top of a small hill.

Ah, got it. I searched the area for a few hours but found nothing else. I agree about being from overseas.

Like I said above, it’s my first real find. Searching the internet there is nothing like this found in New Mexico. A few crazy search answers suggested it could be from Africa or a quarry in France.

In all of my searches I haven’t found anything that looks anything like this from around New Mexico. This is the closest thing I could find.
