Sianna I found these two and have no idea. The round one is perfectly round, I think is a river rock. Tthe other I am not sure maybe a good rock to hobble your horse to. The mat they are on is about 9 inches wide to give you a sort of size reference. I've never stopped in to the museum and have always planed to when down that way, always doing something else like fishing or on a time limit. People say my rocks should be in a museum and have always thought about giving to the State Historical Society but there interests do not seem to lie in the lives that lived here as it does with the first white people to get here. There is so much they leave out like what the white man did to the indians. North Dakota does not talk about Gen Sulley killing defensless indians burried in mass graves in North Dakota. Either we are too ashamed to mention or build memorials and admit, or the Historical Society will not agnowlege as being true. I dont know what their problem is but the tip is only touched when it comes to North Dakota History. 
PF, Knife River Flint. is the gemstone of the flint family. Easily worked and harder to break. Over 700 tribes used the North Dakota flint fields at one time. Knife River Flint is only found in North Dakota. A few years back National Geographic had an article on a 15,000 BC clovis point (spear head) at the mouth of the Amazon. It was a valuable trading commodity and has been found in tool form all over the world long before Columbus got here. 
I miss the little tyke. Hard to believe she is almost nine now.
