Throughout the southwest there are similar indentations in the live rock.
The hemispherical one is used with a loose stone to grind grain.
The thinner ones are similar to straightening grooves for straightening shafts or making other tools, needles and awls.
The boulder has been turned on its side and formerly was upright.

One can find matates and manos all over West Texas and New Mexico. Probably other places too.
