Creek find... what is it?

[Eastern]

Hello! This 4” stone was found in a creek in Jackson Co, Mo. Anyone know what this is by any chance? What it was used for? Thanks!

I think It's a failed Preform, maybe broke during The Percussion Work. Cool Find & look's like good Material.

Very nice material and its probably not finished they would of knocked off the narrow section imo if it was complete would of made a nice scraper or point.

Looks like the NA’s were reducing it , knocking off flakes to make points.. So , after reduction they did some edge work to make a rather large scraper.. Keep looking that creek. JJ

I’m with JJ, I think this is a core of material they were using.

[Lindenmeier-Man]

Yep, looks like they had the flat end set up for more flakes, but then... They had to do some scraping.

That would have been something special with that material .
