What could this be? It's worn on the edges. Found on the ground at ft Union, North Dakota. It would have been where the Indians pitched the tepees during rendezvous.

Hey Mom - Welcome to AH.com. Glad to see your sharing your finds. Is that heavy like iron or is it like rock. It appears to be rather small to have been a tool or some sort or base for grinding. Might just be a rock. However, I'm no expert and I'm not really familiar with North Dakota artifacts. I did find something similar in my area of Tennessee and it turned out to be a naturally shaped rock. Let's wait and see what the more experienced hunters have to say. ...Chuck

To the forum.
I have to say that I have never seen a title this long before.
I would like to see a good picture of the base of that piece Mom.

Whatever it is, it would make a great bookend.

Looks like just a rock to me.

Ha ha, just learning to post! This may just be a rock but it seemed a little unusual so I kept it. I have a love affair with rocks and am always looking down. It's amazing I haven't fallen in a well or something, lol! Here is a pic of the bottom. I wasn't thinking it's anything significant, but I wonder sometimes how many subtle things are missed. It almost looked like it was used to grind something small. Of course, could be a rock! fun to imagine anyway. Thanks for humoring me. I love this site! I live along an old trade path and hope to find a point someday. So far just teepee rings,

It really is quite smooth.
