I walked by this rock several times over the years before I really looked at it. It weighs about 4#. One face is very flat and smooth, and has a dimple pecked in it. It appears to be a fine grained gray granite. Found in a known inhabited area with artifacts from several periods. Found in Fayette County Illinois. Looks like it would have been a useful stone for processing food and maybe pounding on things.
I really enjoy finding and looking at the everyday tools people used.
