Paleolithic Jasper, Iron Massive Paleolithic Bone Crusher / Hammerstone Tool - 10 cm (No reserve price)
A heavy Paleolithic hammerstone / bone-crushing tool made from compact iron jasper. The piece shows strong, repeated percussion damage with characteristic concave impact zones, step fractures, and organized flake removals from a consistent direction. These features indicate deliberate shaping and intensive use as a heavy-duty tool for bone processing or hard organic material.
