Stunning, it looks just like the tiny 'concave end scraper on a flake' tool that was used by folk for butchering and alike back then.

By my reckoning that thing will weigh about 75kg'ish, can you imagine the size of the chap that used it? My estimates put him at about the size of a four story building.

More evidence of the existnace of Giants I say.

Ah, the optical illusion!

They are not concave, they are convex, like frozen bubbles. And it's 4' long, so at least half a ton. Still trying to track down the owner, to see if they want to part with it :)
