Ok my turn…

I found this while walking a trail this morning. I’ll lay myself on the altar of Potential Pareidolia. This a very small piece. The coloration variances near the edge caught my eye. It appears to have a worked edge. I can also see where it could be natural “damage”.
The size is what gives me doubts. I can’t see a purpose for it. Either way, it’ll fit in my “Other” jar. Give me your thoughts; I can take it! 🤷‍♂️

Yeah I agree some comments point to having no common sense, like yours.

it’s extremely possible and a valid assessment that it’s a tool fragment, and I thought the comment on it being piece of a base was right on.

It’s ignorant to take shots on people wanting to help, not all areas are subject to the same processes, I’ve got a river and creeks and nothing comes up black like down in Georgia. Other than local flint which crops up in nodules flint found is almost always imported, whos to say the area this found has enough flint or fast moving water to pick up chatter or even be stained.
A piece like that would 100% be a tool fragment around here, there is absolutely 0 creek chatter that looks like that.

Not to mention there’s a margin that looks like a blade and on the other side it’s blocky like a break

It’s fine if that’s what you think but don’t insult other posters we just may have more experience than you.

Every cloud is an image too. We were ask what we thought.

Unless I’m not following you, I think we are saying the same thing, we were asked what we thought some gave opinions then others attacked those that gave an opinion.

"I believe by showing negative responses people will leave."

Designating areas (example: North American Indian Artifacts)where vulnerable populations can feel comfortable discussing their issues. While generally supported, controversy may arise around the concept of excluding certain viewpoints or the perceived coddling of individuals so as not to upset them.

I seriously hope you didn’t think I wanted coddling! In my post I stayed that I had a lot of doubt and that I felt it might be natural damage. I only need opinions for a while. Hopefully I’ll eventually gain a level of arrogance that allows me to know everything with no need for questions. I’m not there yet. Please have a little patience with us who have sub-160 IQs. To any TN Administrators who care, I tried very hard to hold my tongue. I don’t remember being born with “Welcome” on my forehead. I won’t start being a door mat at 65.
Once again, this was a great site. I’m going to miss it. ☮️

BF58 my comments had nothing to do with you or your post. I had to do with comments made by others.

I will leave this thread alone... Carry on.
