Definition
A prehistoric stone tool shaped like an acorn, or a fossil imprint resembling an acorn.
Etymology
From Greek 'balanos' (acorn) plus '-ite' (stone or fossil). The term describes either actual stone implements or natural formations that resemble acorns.
Kelly Says
Archaeological finds of balanite tools show that ancient humans were incredibly creative in toolmaking—they even shaped stones to look like acorns, possibly for trade goods or symbolic reasons.
