Interesting find. Not sure.

It does not look like it's been worked into shape by native Americans, or the right material to me.

The majority of axes, celts, adzes are made from granite or greenstone. Some are made from hematite and other miscellaneous igneous stone.

I can't tell the material in the image, but it looks like a dense sandstone or other sedimentary stone.

Keep looking. You're on track.

Agree with dognose. Wrong kind of rock for an axe.

Thanks to all who responded to creek find.
I agree wouldn't last a couple of chops. Lol.
