Runestone with pictographs or petrogliphs i think the bird in first photo points to hopewell origen. On last photo you can see the outline of a tree.

It seems to tell a story when you roll the stone along its edge. It starts near a body of water, then past a large tree onto an ocean with large waves then pine trees or tally marks, before returning to start... the last photo is a hopewell artifact showing similar bird. And a map showing hopewell trafe routs around north america please help identify. Also i washed this rock heavily with soapy wwater and brush didnt notice anything special untill it caught just the right light.

Sorry but I'm not seeing what your seeing. Looks like a plain ole rock to me...

Rock

Just natural rocks. Pareidolia explains why you think you can identify specific shapes.

fuzzy pix tell no story. Plus.... it is a rock

Since photo doesnt capture well i drew a rough sketch of what i see. I hope this helps

Pictograph is the one with paint. It is badly faded.

Many folk seem to think Native Americans were some sort of spiritual, ethereal beings that were in touch with all things natural and transcendental. In reality they were practical and just trying to get from one day to the next, like you and me. I would suggest you approach the subject using the framework day to day realism. As in..."today I am going to find something to eat."

Sorry, it's all in your imagination.

There's no evidence of being worked by man. You're seeing what you want to see...pareidolia.

Take it to a university or large (not small, local) museum and let someone from their Native American Studies department look at it. They'll explain what it is and isn't.

Sorry, what you are seeing is caused by your imagination and pareidolia.

Do u see it now

 

[unclemac]

at least some of what you enhanced are natural fissures in the stone

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

You drawing what you think you see is still your imagination and pareidolia.

 

[Emil W]

Do u see it now

What I see, or what you see, or what anyone else sees, is completely irrelevant.

What matters is if what anyone sees is due to natural erosion or if it's man-made. Your stone shows natural erosion with no evidence of being worked by man. Again...pareidolia.

Remember, boys and girls, that a Geofact is a natural object that bears some superficial resemblance, real or imagined, to an actual artifact.

What the OP has is a Geofact. It is a rock that has some superficial resemblance, real or imagined, to an actual artifact.

It is my opinion, based on images provided, that the resemblance to an actual artifact is entirely imagined. Of course, the only experience I have with runestones was a visit to a few museums in Denmark, Sweden, and Iceland.

Time for more coffee.

I can’t see it. I attached a pic of a rock I found. I believe mine was caused by a farm plow/disc. It was found in a field. I’d love it to be a sharpening stone, but I think “common rock”. I am keeping it though; in a pile of rocks around a rock garden. I think it’s neat, and that’s really all that matters.
