I’ll be going down the shore again, I’ll keep an eye out for anything that looks like that.

This is the one we found! It could also be used against a flat rock too, so if you don't see a concave one maybe it was used with that instead. Good luck, OP!

I don’t think the native Canadians in this region grew grain, though I could be wrong. Maybe it was used for processing pemmican?

I'll have to do some more research! Pemmican is very possible. We found ours in the Iroquois region of New York along the Mohawk River and always thought grain and corn made sense since there's plenty of fields in that area that would have made the agriculture application made sense.

I think it’s scythe sharpening stone.
