I found this a few years back and thought it must be man made due to the shape, I was wondering if anyone on here might have any ideas or know where i can find information on it.
Cheers in advance.

Hi pete did not think water could be so precise.
It was found on a pebbled area at work so maybe you could be right i have drawn a sketch and added some mesurements.

What you have there is almost certainly a ventifact, not too uncommon. I found one a while back in Nottinghamshire, almost a perfect 'pyramid'. It's an obdurate stone that’s spent way too long exposed on the surface of some long lost (geologically speaking) desert environment.
