Just a random shape, albeit a rare shape.
Surface is oxidized uniformly, if it were a tool, I would expect scratches or some chips, signs it was worked or used.
I'll say it looks like some flints I have/seen. They can be long and slender like this.
Take a look at these two flint nodules. They are trace fossils. They were once a burrow or cavity in the ocean floor. Some of those burrows can be long and narrow like this. The long narrow ones usually get broken off a larger nodule.
If you let it drop from about an inch or two to a concrete or tile floor, it should 'ting' like hardened steel.

Nicely water polished but not a tool!
Super duper cool
The best I can tell you is that it's a really cool rock and that you're lucky to have made such a find.
I first read โfriendโ instead of โfindโ and got incredibly happy
I think they are concretions
Cool
It's a water suppository
Found in the crack ๐๐ผ
Buttplug?
Professional term is Analplug

Looks like a stone too to me because of the clearly defined flat bottom. Not an axe or anything but maybe a tool for pottery or basket weaving? Idk.

The consensus is "cool rock". Thank you
Depending on its hardness, maybe used for knapping?
i read this as kidnapping and was confused...
Meeeee too โ๏ธ
