As I rather like to fiddle with pieces of stone I felt compelled to research the club stone. What I have found was a surprise. The seller may well have been telling the truth about the item coming from an old SW collection. The stone is known as Dense brown limestone in Arkansas and Louisiana or as shale in Texas and Arizona, which I thought was quite interssting. It dose not have the same shell inclusions as the white limestone I am familiar with but has the same hardness when tested.
