I have a small stone, smooth, equilateral triangle in shape, with rounded points. From each point to point it is approx 3/4". On the front side of the stone there appears to be flat indention of eyes (brow) and mouth area. The back surface is smooth and completely flat -except for the bottom (behind what I'm guessing would be chin) which is chipped. Almost as if this may have been part of a figurine, and separated at some point. Not sure what kind of stone it is but it is light reddish brown in color. It was found in Texas. Obviously a picture is ideal (maybe required?), however I have no means to upload atm. I was just hoping this description might sound familiar to someone in the forums and could point me in the right direction to compare other online resources. The main reason I think its man made is how flat the back surface is, whereas the front is rounded with sharp brow indentions. Thank you for any help!

that's what I was afraid of. Here are 3 pics from my archaic cell phone. Horrible quality but I'll see if I can get some better ones up tomorrow. Thanks again!

These are the back front and side respectively. Sorry for the horrible resolution.
 

looks neat,shine a flashlight on the face side then snap a picture,looks like fredy kruger kinda you think or is it just me
 

Can't tell anything with those pictures. If members want something identified they have to give us a decent picture to work with. Impossible to tell anything with out a picture and next to impossible with poor quality picture.
 

I will take a better picture at work tomorrow with a higher quality camera. Thanks.

Looks to be just a natural stone with some nice looks to it. I would have taken it home for a further exam....................GTP(Chris)
 

hey Mo

welcome to tnet
shaped like a guitar pick and does kinda look like a face but i say natural rock also
 

Have to agree that it appears to be a rock, and not an artifact. Keep lookin, you'll get em sooner or later.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Got excited when I saw a similar stone (similar color and shape) on History Detectives and it turned out to be part of a very old Native American figurine. I agree it looks cool and will hang on to it. Just for sake of completeness, here are some higher res pics. Thanks again! Awesome Forum!!!
