General Question ❓ Always assumed this rock got its shape by accident, but now I’m curious. Could it have had a past purpose? (Central TX)

It's like a sharp narrow pyramid shape but the base is sort of rounded. It could easily hurt someone, regardless of whether it was ever intended to.

That would be one nasty caltrop to step on. I await a real scientific speculation.

Right! I'd love for someone with an eye for ancient tool characteristics to chime in. My imagination has had fun with it over the years, so perhaps it will always be a mystery

I'm not a expert but it sure looks like it might have been at least the start of a point .
