Orrin. all,
You prompted me to check my pre-historic tool finds and curiously one looks a
lot like the Los Angeles Martians.
I actually mentioned this to Bob Varish a few years ago bu,t we have yet to get
together and compare them in person.
What are your thoughts? Please see link below with pic
I know very little about Neolithic tools from Morocco, and so, I may be totally
wrong about this object. But when I personally see the term "discoidal", I
immediately visualize the American Indian discoidal, an example of which Phil
posted earlier.. It was used in a game called " chunkey ", and
Very impressive indeed. I just went through my inventory of Neolithic
tools (collected legally) and all of mine are made from basalt. Darn.
I wish my 70 pound matate was an OC Really cool find. Phil,you are
correct this is a discoidal.

I'm no expert, but I concur with Phil. It does like the discoidal
shown in the link.
Either way, it's a super find. Congrats to Philippe. :)
Best regards,

It looks a lot more like a cupstone or a discoidal than a hammerstone.
Doesn't look anything like an anvil. An anvil would have a flat surface. A
hammerstone generally wouldn't have a depression in its middle. We have a
Campo in the museum that was used as an anvil, I have a picture of it
