Natural rock

Takes a magnifying glass to those pits and holes. You might find impressions of little 'water-living' critters that got embedded as the rock was being formed. Could also be a little crystaline because of how Virginia is, geologically. You might want to check out the Virginia Geology websites for info about rocks/minerals commonly found in your area. Lots of info there.

P.s. that would be really cool to find a water living creature embedded!

If you want to find fossils look in the creek for Limestone. It will be gray or kinda green and it will feel gritty if you rub your finger across it. A lot of the times you can find fossils in that type of stone. I have some some place with worm fossils in it. I like all kinds of rocks.

That happens to be my fav rock. Idk why, just is: Question: is there a such thing as rock art? If so, was Limestone the particular stone used bc it was easier to manipulate into art? Ps , here's the rocks

Hard to say.. As for arrow heads.. Slate and many other stones had been sued to create these arrows and tools.. While yoru stones look liek theyve seen most of the wear and tear in a stream or river.. Turning and rolling over time thus giving them the round shape. Then to I find these types of rocks in the roads.. cause dump trucks drop these after haulling them from a tumble factory.. most are used for landscaping or crush run (drive ways)

No they usually didnt use Limestone as far as I know. Limestone is too brittle. Every once in a while I find some Artifacts made of Quartzite and I do have a Metate made from Red Sandstone with an a dimple on it. A dimple is where they would use a Mano (grinding stone) to grind their grain or corn. When they do this it actually will leave a circle on the stone Metate. Metate is like a Mortar but is Flat like a large plate of stone. Mortar is usually like a bowl but made of stone.
