Hello all,

I found this one a while back. I think it might be a an arrowhead made from a flake. The sides are totally shear and the tip is broken off. But the base seems to have some work on it. What do you think?

I don't think so. More than likely a case of coincidence by Nature.
 

It’s hard to tell from pics , quartz flaking doesn’t show well in pics. I think it was part of something maybe a big scraper that got broken or just debitage. I do not believe it was a point
 

Are there any flake impact scars anywhere? If not I would think its one of those that just happen to have a shape similar to a projectile point.
 

Its been worked but as others have said its broken. If you havent found much quartz you wouldnt be able to tell natural from worked unless its a real fine quality of stone. Keep looking there is a whole one out there with your name on it.
