Not my area but it’s a nice flake knife

Looks like Excello chert. Pretty comomon material for that area. Nice knife.

There was an outcrop of Excello just east of Ft Osage. I saw it while attending the knap in there. That outcrop was not near the quality of the OPs flake. Must be a good quality outcrop or creek around there somewhere.
