I have found a bunch of these ghost rocks in different sizes and configurations. I've been told they are from drips coming from the top of a new cave ceiling before stalagmites or any other formations have formed..
Howdy all, I have one stone implement to show...

Howdy all, I have one stone implement to show...
I found this in central Missouri when I was four wheeling a river about thirty years ago. A simple mistake, I stopped to get rid of a large amount of used beer and when I was done I looked down so I wouldn't trip on any rocks and there it was lying on the bottom of the stream. I've been told things about it, I've been offered lots of money for it, I've used it to hold down freshwater aquariums, and I now use it to show it off at rendezvous along with my ghost rock.

Some early European cultures would grind their grain in stone bowls which were artfully decorated. In later years when the populations were getting unwieldy the mortar bowls were no longer used, multiple bowls were carved in larger stones and grain was ground assembly line fashion.
That may be America's version of production line mortar and pestle for the masses. Visually it fits.

Randy, don't know if I have ever seen a rock like that. That is amazing. I would be proud to find an ax like that. It is just about perfect.
