Found these on top of a high rock outcropping in Wyoming. Looks like wood but can't imagine how it got there or how it got polished.

May want to Google Atlatl Weight. Not sure if that's what it is or not but it is definitely a very cool rock. I would most certainly have picked it up as well.

petrified wood that has been etched by sand probably in water, ie beach wash
Wyoming has been under water 160 mill years ago, and many forces have happened over that time.

But I you think it is from a dino that used it in it's digestion much like a bird gizzard , then you have a coffee top table conversation piece.
