✅ SOLVED Rock with markings on it, possible indian tool?

[Mintspeed]

Hi, I am new here and I was wondering if anyone could help me identify this rock lol, it's funny asking and it may just be a rock. I found this 15 years ago and have been using it as a door stop since.







Thank you.

Welcome to TN.... I'm thinking just a rock with wierd natural markings, but I can't think of how those markings would have formed? Maybe it got that way tumbling in a river over time

Thank you for the reply Tamrock, If I remember correctly It was found on a bank on a nearby hunting property where the road curved uphill. Either way it probably is just a rock but the marking just made me wonder, makes a great door stop lol.

Your rock is a natural rock that gets those markings from tumbling and being hit by other rocks in a river.

That is so weird, what puzzles me is the bank I found this on is 20 miles from the nearest river. I'm glad to know it's just a rock. Makes me want to research the geographic side of things and see when a river ran through that area.

Thank you Everyone.

Maybe now, but you gotta remember we're talking about a rock, millions of years old. Water courses can change dramatically over time frames like that, and depending on where you are you might have to consider not just water but glaciers carrying stone and other debris as they traveled.

Rivers meander and never flow in the same constant course throughout time. The paddle wheeler wreck Arabia in Kansas City was found far from the river and buried deep in a cornfield. Your rock could have come all the way from Canada via a glacier thousands of years ago.
