Found this today walking up a long trail to the cabin. Just wondering if anyone thinks it is something made by the natives. It is about the thickness of a nickel and is very symmetric and uniform in shape and thickness to the point of being perfectly shaped. It isn't totally smooth and has some small pits on edges and face that are uniform also. A picture from each side. Is it anything??

It could be some type of discoidal or game stone. It may not be finished all the way either.

I'm with Northof50 on this one. They are called gastroliths.

I have some larger ones that came from an area with a lot of dinosaur bones. Apparently they mostly come from herbivorous reptiles/dinosaurs.

Mandolin pic. Not flexible enough for a guitar pic.
Dino needed to spend more time digesting to smooth it out more.

I'm not saying it's an artifact or not but I've seen rocks that were just rocks that people could some how come up with a reason why they were Indian artifacts when that's what they are looking for.. not saying that's the case here at all because there's alot of people on here that know more about this kind of stuff than me.

Thanks I will hang on to it. It was found in rough high country about a mile from river. No flooding or water that high in my life time.

Not quite round enough I'd say whistle

Looks an awful lot like a Native American pig castrator though. Worn down from lots of use.
