Question

Resting on my back.

I'm separated from my kin

Because in between us lies

A round, shallow basin.

Of us I am the youngest

By many, many, years

And while they have heads smooth and sharp

Mine resembles spears

This is the first riddle I myself have made that I consider a good, and not too easy, riddle.

The Rocky Mountains in the western U.S.? Being younger than their brethren on the East Coast, they are considerably less eroded and thus even "sharper", like spears. And the "round, shallow basin" is/are the Great Plains.

No, but really good guess. I realized I need to specify something: He has two kin, and one of their heads are sharp, the other one is smooth, not both having heads both smooth and sharp. One part that doesn't quite fit is that I don't think the Great Plains are round.

:(

I was thinking like a newly formed island on a plate edge (volcanic, would explain the round, shallow basin), where the sharp rocks haven't been eroded, but the further away rocks are round and smooth.

You last hint makes me wrong

You've got me thinking of crystals around a pool of water or a cave. But that doesn't seem to fit, either.

A fork lies on a table, and what I would consider the back is resting on the table

Knives and spoons are akin to forks as cutlery

A fork goes on the left, knife and spoon on the right

plate or bowl

Forks were invented after spoons and knives

Many years after

knives have sharp head, spoons have smooth

Tines of a fork resemble spears.
