Curiously-Shaped Stones on the Browns River in Jericho, Vermont

Is This Anything? A Possibly Shaped Stone on a Rocky Part of the River’s Edge

My trip to Jericho’s Old Red Mill and its Park yesterday didn’t yield much in the way of stonework discoveries. Although, it did lead to a beautiful foliage video…

However, I did find ONE example of a sort of Speculative Stonework I’ve been finding along waterways in the Champlain Valley — a Stand-Alone Wing- or Fin-Shaped Stone, in a bit of an Alcove.

Though this theoretically could be caused by water erosion and natural calving, the rocks around this feature involved with the water show much rounder edges resulting from those processes than what we see here. This Wing- or Fin-Shaped Stone displays a jagged edge, and could have been formed in part by percussive stone shaping techniques.

The triangular stone in front of it also adds to the potential this is a constructed element.
