Not sure about this one, maybe a core? I find a lot of those around this spot near St. Louis County Missouri. Near a dry creek, found in the side bank. Not sure what type of rock? Appears to have been worked.

Cool and definitely worked. Was trying to get the most out of that band of finer material. those minute workings could have been used as a tool.Professor Shellman

Pic. 3 down appears to have been worked, for whatever reason I know not...Another thing that caught my ,eye was, all them little new looking flakes, it looks like the whole piece was recently split Weathering usually removes most of those.., Could be that it was a complete artifact before it was split, and that small area in pic. 3 is part of the original whatever...I donβt know...Iβm just tryin to think it through...keep on lookin.Floridaboy.Comment

There is a lot of decent quality chert in your area, and a whole lot more poor quality chert. The best way to tell the difference is to give it a couple of whacks to see what it looks like under the cortex.
Maybe it was used as a quick tool, maybe some knapper was just testing to see if was a good piece, or it might have been part of the "rind" knocked off a bigger chunk. But it does look like an artifact to me.

Nice material, I bet someone would list this as a sock fossil on Ebay. It does look like it was knocked off a bigger piece and some pieces knocked off of this. Cool find ππ π€ SW GeorgiaComment
