Looks like a trail marker for the stagecoach or other travelers. Pretty interesting find(I think).

It might be a flat rock that water dripped on for a very long time and wore holes it. I would guess somebody found it and propped it up against the tree stump. The stump looks to be cut with a chain saw.

It looks like a piece of limestone.

One of my hobbies back in my college years was cave-exploreing. There was even a club for that at the college. Most "natural" caves occur in Limestone geological areas. While hiking to a cave I'd often see unusually-shaped slabs of limestone, and when I asked about them, I was told (by a Geology Professor) that due to its Calcium chemistry, limestone often erodes/dissolves into peculiar shapes. (Notably, looking like partially-melted ice, with tunnels and ROUND-ISH HOLES in it.) So, based on my education as a Geology student and my personal experiences with encountering limestone rocks, I agree with AlabamaRelic that Sallysue's mysterious stone is a naturally-occurring slab of "peculiarly eroded" limestone.

Also, please note that Sallysue is in Texas, which has vast areas of eroded limestone rocks exposed on the surface of the ground.

I'm curious about the spots I circled are those holes also? It's kinda hard to tell from a pic if it's made by nature or man. Post it in Indian artifacts section, it could be some type of artifact? HH

It is hard to tell exactly what we're looking at without it fully out of the ground, but:




Just think about it..

Shows what I know, I thought it was metal from the photo.
