Burlington flint found this morning

[Blackfoot58]

I was hiking and found a decent chunk of Burlington flint. I’m hoping to practice knapping/flaking on it so I don’t ruin my better slabs. I’m not 100% certain where I should drive off my first flake. The back is fairly craggy and irregular. The face looks like a possibility for a scraper or a small blade. Thoughts appreciated.

It’s hard to determine from a pic, but this is how I would proceed.
