Fonud this rock. Any idea?
« on: January 17, 2010, 07:56:08 pm »
I went on a rock run today and found this. It has grooves cut around it and sorta resembles an axe. What do you think?

were you anywhere near a rock quarry?  That rock looks like it was drilled for dynamite.

Just looks like a sedimentary rock with layers of varying hardness that's been rolling on a river/stream bottom.

 It's not an axe. Not with 3 grooves.

Looks cool. Save it and make something out of it.

Maybe the original owner was using it to test his pecking and grinding techniques!  ;D  My first thought was uneven wear because of un-similar composite materials.

Yup, looks natural to me. I find weird stuff like that in West TX.

     Looks like a thingamabob to me...... ::)  you could tie a piece of heavy twine to it, and then tie it to a heavier line, and then toss the rock to someone to pull the heavy line in.....or you could use it as a weapon, or a door stop, or paper weight, or wallnut smacker, or squirrel smacker...... ;D  The bigger one does look like a piece of quarry, or road rock that had been drilled for explosives. ;)  What the hell, put it on e-bay, it's better than a potato chip Madonna! ;D

After the last S#X rock, I was going to stay away from this one. However..... looking at the first picture, I find it real interesting there are two sets of parallel indentations. If you look at them, they line up perfectly across from each other. Not only that, if you look close, both sets angle inward. To me, natural erosion could not have done this. I also have never seen drill holes for blasting this close together or for that matter angled like that. I am gong to suggest another theory... man made. What if this was mounted between the forks of a Y shaped stick. Could it have been used as some sort of hammer or some other type tool? You also have to take into account were it was found. I wouldn't discard it as a S#X rock to quickly. OK, that is my two cents worth.
