Just about completely round. I would imagine it is just a "leaver right there rock" and nothing special. I couldn't resist to pack it out. Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

The further they go the bigger they get. I have seen them in the river breaks, in sharp steep cuts, right in the bottom. I was rolling one down to the boat one time, and it got going so fast I could not keep up with. I did see it launch into the Missouri river though. It was about basket ball size or just over.

This is the most symmetrical one I ever picked up (out of hundreds). The shale here is loaded with them. I'm happy it was not as large as the one you have because I did have to carry it a ways

Maybe K Snow will chime in I don't know anything about the stone, but I'd lift it, maybe see how far I could throw it. Thats the thing with strongman people, it's hard to take a walk in the wild without trying to pick up every big stone we see.
