Ashley found this hard stone quartzite discoidal in the field today. It has a small dimple on one side and a small plow mark on the other. It is nearly identical to the one I found there last year.

Dumb question, but how do you tell a discoidal from a polished river or glacial stone?Comment

I know I sound like a broken record, but it's just one of those things that when you see a real one you say.... "ohhhhh. I get it". Terrible explanation, but true.
I was certain I found one, once. Ran over to some water, washed it off......it was the dust cap off a tractor wheel bearing. Smashed on one side, filled with dirt on the other. %@$#

You look for pecking and polishing on the stone where it has been worked to a shape.SE ARKANSASComment
