Any thoughts on what this might be? Found at a site with 2 Kirk points (pics included for fun) and lots of quartz debitage. It's kind of an amorphous biface... if it was smaller, I could see it being a blade or a drill, but I can't really decide what to call it right now. Think it was associated with the Kirk stuff, or something more recent? It reminds me of little drills/scrapers that I've seen at Morrow Mountain sites.

Cool little points!
I hunted a site where ancient people quarried material like that, and it was full of pieces similar to yours . Some of that material is "rotten" in that it will look pretty solid but has an internal crack that will fail under torque/pressure. Often times you can hear a dull sound when knapping them vs a higher pitched ring.Hong Kong, but from Indiana/Florida
