It's just one flake with some quick edge work what you're seeing on that side wasn't created intentionally its just left over from previous flakes removed from the same mother stone.
The idea that some people forget is there being one larger piece of material that many flakes were removed from it was those flakes that are turned into tools until usually the mother stone gets used up to the point where no more flakes can be removed and it's used as something to end its life basically.. Usually something like a core chopper

On those triangle flakes with edge work. Sometimes they made hafted scrapers out of them. The narrow section would be put into a handle and the round end was the working side.
 

True could have been set in a little bone handle

I find them here even smaller made from flint flakes. Nothing thick enough to even put in a frame they just slide around.
