Description: Finely sculpted, 28 lb., basalt, prehistoric Paleo-American rock art hand tool, base stone, or anvil stone. The main frontal image suggests a cryptically enigmatic marine creature crawling out of the water and on to dry land! Amazing! Obvious wear patterns, and hand/finger placement contours imply its use as a crunching, crushing, smashing, splitting tool. It is an amazing example of ancient craftsmanship and artistry; certainly a gift from the antediluvian inhabitants of North America. Found "as is" in Eastern Oregon. Thank you for viewing this incredible artifact from the amazing toolmakers in the distant past.
