I'll leave it to experts to comment on the holey rock, but I'm having some trouble with scale/size. In one shot I assume it's on a table with the ground a few feet beneath it but it makes the rock look huge. What are the approximate dimensions?

I don't think anyone would put that in a canoe , way too big. maybe an attempt at making a mill stone ?
or maybe the pic is not showing the proper scale like mentioned above.

 

[Doubter in MD]

I don't think it's as big as it looks. I think the perspective is off in the photos, but as displayed in the pictures I'd agree.

I'm thinking an old mill stone. (I live near an old mill and they still have a few lying around.) Size is important in this case.

Modern bullet & need measurements to I.D. That may be an anchor. Can you give us an approximate size && weight ? Need pix on both sides on the stone as well.

The bullet is a modern 30-06 150 grain M-2 ball military bullet

I think your stone is a natural trace fossil. There seems to be a second hole that appears too smooth to be chiseled or "hammerred" in place. The hole in a stone anchor is always funnel shaped on either side.

Can you put something of known size in an image with it?

Agree with CaptEstaban & Pistol Pete that the bullet is a modern .30 cal(+/-) full-metal jacket.

Agree with you Charlie...looks like a natural mollusk bored hole
