I'm not sure if this is an appropriate board to ask but I wasn't sure where else I could besides a local museum
Anyway I found this years ago out in my back yard and never thought much of it but does this look genuine? I'm not hopping to stumble upon riches I just wanna know more about it looks like a spearhead obviously but input is appreciated.

Far from a spearhead, but those ripples along the edge kind of look like those done when knap flint.
The thick portion looks decent for a handle. Can we get a few more pics at different angles?

Doesn't look like it. This picture is much clearer and that just looks like natural formation. Then again, I am no geologist so my word is as good as my limited experience. You could make it into a spearhead if you wanted.
Y'know, in case those damn Neandus come around to steal your fire

It's a piece of radioactive stone.
You should be fine unless you touch it.

It's a dream come true! I shall use this penis wisely indeed

Picture 3 looks like it was hand tooled, which means it probably isn't a rock.
I wonder if it's an ax head?

In your butt?

Geologist here- it's definitely interesting but likely nothing too special. Unfortunately I'm pretty shit at identifying things unless I've got my hands on them. Where do you live if you don't mind me asking?

Tbh I have no idea. I would head over to /an/ if I were you. They're typically pretty good with this shit. /sci/ too, but you're more likely to get memed there

Are these all pictures of the same stone?
It looks similar to an image on this page:
http://www.texasbeyondhistory.net/gateway/
Look for the picture with this text...
A stone mano, or grinding stone, from the mission was used by native peoples to process plant foods--perhaps domesticated crops such as corn as well as wild plants.

Yeah all the same stone. That does look pretty similar, Thanks for the link sir.
