It’s a mining hammer. Standard design.
400 million?
no.
Other observers have noted that the hammer is stylistically consistent with typical American tools manufactured in the region in the late 1800s. One possible explanation for the artifact is that the highly soluble minerals in the ancient limestone may have formed a concretion around the object, via a common process (like that of a petrifying well) which often creates similar encrustations around fossils and other nuclei.
J.R. Cole states: The stone is real, and it looks impressive to someone unfamiliar with geological processes. How could a modern artifact be stuck in Ordovician rock? The answer is that the concretion itself is not Ordovician. Minerals in solution can harden around an intrusive object dropped in a crack or simply left on the ground if the source rock (in this case, reportedly Ordovician) is chemically soluble.
The Hammer began to attract wider attention after it was bought by creationist Carl Baugh in 1983, who claimed the artifact was a "monumental 'pre-Flood' discovery." He has used it as the basis of speculation of how the atmospheric quality of a pre-flood earth could have encouraged the growth of giants. The hammer is now an exhibit in Baugh's Creation Evidence Museum, which sells replicas of it to visitors.
Zero chance of being ancient. Would have rusted away in about 2000 years.
I did see, however, an article about how this might have formed, in which it was stated: “They aren’t “million year old rocks.” These are iron oxide concretions, and are known to form relatively quickly when iron or iron containing objects are left in moist soil. ... Shipwrecks are often found only by the nail concretions, which can remain long after the timbers have decayed away to nothing.”
