    So what is it for. Cutting grass or cutting and knapping bones?
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    It is a rock! That it is sharp and fits in the hand well is whole interesting thing. Rocks are like clouds or art, even if one person sees the bunny or frog doesn't mean that anyone else can see it...or that it is even there.

    I have used the tool and it cuts grass poorly,,

    and scores and knapps bone realy good leading me to believe that it was intended to work bone.

    coconuts, grasses, bones....who cares. I want to know who these "experts" and "educated people" are that you were talking to.

    I agree with Crash, its still just a rock to me. This thread did give me a few belly-aching laughs though. Love it.

    A Natural Science consultant? for what, the museum? marketing? etc, etc.

    The other lady was a peleo entomologist:

    erumkis, Give it up. You are not going to convince anyone that it is anything other then a rock. Your perseverance makes for good comedy but it is destroying your credibility.

    Thats right, a Bug Lady.She realy offered the most info on this object. I was able to narrow down the dating with what she said. And The consultant was The official spokes person for Cambridge University at Boston.

    Allow me to correct this statement.

    If dogs looked like fur, then your rock would look like a knife.

    However; Dogs look like dogs and your rock looks like a rock.

    Can someone in the congregation give me an Amen?

    Now dogs carry frog knives? Well, if everybody says so. "OK, Muttley ! Up against the wall, this is a strip search, take off that fur coat." I ain't having an Attack Trained Beagle armed sleeping by the door.

    OK, When a black rat looks like your next meal and a hole in the ground look like a way to save you from dieing of exposer, Then your rock will look like a tool.

    What info did the bug lady give you that helped narrow down the dates? Was it used to smash insects too? And what does a university spokesperson know about anthropology?

    It doesn't look anything like volcanic glass. It looks more like a basalt. Neither of which would have been found in any of the areas that you are talking about the "Cherocavemen" using it. I've looking in several anthropology texts that I have access to and I have found absolutely no reference to anything called a "frog knife." I am thinking that either someone is pulling your leg or it is a super secret conspiracy to not let us know about the existence of the frog people.

    All rocks are rocks when you use a rock any rock it is a tool. So rocks are rocks and rocks are tools. The rocks that are on the ground are just rocks. The rock in your hand is a tool.
