Mother nature does some strange stuff, but I would lean towards erosion, I have actually pulled rocks from Beech Creek here in NE Ohio that I thought were starts or incompleted pipes because they had two holes started in them. But just mother nature. I have studied non point artifacts as an interest and have never seen any implement of stone that even simulates that, so I would lean towards geofact. Just my opinion though.

Mother Nature is erosion by water, and freezing/thawing, and wind, pressure, heat, cold, and even breaking by animals. When you find a rock, it has had millions of years of natural action to shape and alter it.
There are people that have found all kinds of shapes in natural rocks; it is like finding animals in clouds. But unless a rock has the tool signatures and is a recognizable type of tool, it is a geofact.
