This was found on a gravel bar along a river in southern Minnesota. Thoughts? Attempted tool?

sergeir, welcome to AH.com from a fellow minnestoan.im up in the central part of the state
you,like i,are living in a very poor lithic area. so looking for stuff made from quartz and quartzite puts you on the right track right away.
but to me that looks like the flakes that were knocked off were from natural tumbling and not intentional flakes taken by man
all though if i had it in hand i might be able to tell better,as it is hard to look at pics of quartz/quartzite and be 100% sure.it doesnt show flakes very well,especially in pics
