Nutting stones and bowls

[DirtyHandsCleanPoints]

Anyone else pick up bowls and nutters/firestarters? I usually find the biggest ones when I’m the furthest from the truck lol

All naturally formed. Nutting stones? Smash the nut with a rock already!

Could they be naturally formed, but also people still smashed nuts in them? Seems plausible.

All are natural, they are omars.

Without physical proof they were used they are just stones. It's like having coins from 1776 and saying Thomas Jefferson had them, without proof they are just old coins.

I also agree with natural on all but the 1st picture looks different with the circular like marks in the hole; maybe a fossil that was there made that shape. I honestly don't know nothing about the topic being discussed but I don't blame you for picking it up.
