Is this an authentic Indian Stone Maul/Hammer?

Found this in South Texas. Was wondering if anyone could tell me what it actually is... (hopefully not just a rock!)

Looks like an arrow shaft straightener to me.

Looks like that to me also, or an arrow shaft abrader. Welcome aboard T Net.

Welcome aboard.. looks like a shaft abbrading stone and a pretty nice well used one for the type of stone. Here is one of mine that resembles yours. It's basically a sanding block for an arrow shaft..or other straight wooden shaft.

Welcome to t-net. Nice find. It does look like a shaft abrader. Did you find anything else in the area?

hey hey welcome to the net

i agree with shaft abrader or shaft sander
but not a straightener (wrench)

looks nice

It has all of the characteristics of an abrader, in my opinion. Strange looking stone or lithic it is made of. Looks almost like a fossil that the natives used. However, I know nothing about fossils. I probably should not have replied here, but wanted to say good eye. Nice find!
