Frost damage. The 3rd picture in particular shows a very typical feature known as a "starch fracture".

Thanks. Glad I asked. I thought I was seeing percussive rings and a (bulbar) scar there. My guess was it was a biface? Will keep reading!

Dang that is some Purdy stuff!!
Would sure like to see a G10 Perdiz pointy one made from material like that!

It is a "Rock" when it's on the ground.
It is a "Specimen" when picked up and taken home.

I'd be happy to do that for you. I just brought it out to natural light here for you. I'm going to break out a my real camera this weekend and brush up on pointers of how to take better photos of still objects. Hope this gives you a clearer picture and thanks for asking. Will post it at the end of thread. Have a good weekend.
