Padoof’s ancient tool?

By 7 March, 2013 5

ancient tool

This in from Sandra, any bone dusters who can help?

Walking on the ‘Bogey Hole’ beach at Mollymook, 6 am Tuesday, I found this amazing rock which had washed up during high tide. I’m convinced it’s an ancient artefact, and can just imagine it was a tool shaped from stone thousands of years ago…obviously the pointy end has worn down after thousands of years of being in the surf :-)

Where does one take these to get checked out (without being ridiculed of course!) my family’s having a bit of a laugh at my expense I’m afraid. I don’t care, I think it’s pretty cool with its ergonomic design.

Although the area is a fossil hunters wet dream, I would say that you have a nice piece of Karst limestone that has diisolved\broken away over time from water movements.

Looks natural to me.

A stone axe as such wouldn’t have chips in the edge as they would have been ground smooth over many years.

Sorry :)

Looks like the Belconnen Owl to me.

That’s a giant mermaid’s pick, for playing the seaweed guitar.

Now, who’ll look like a tool if it really is a tool? Perhaps someone at ANU could help you. Anthropology?
