You will have to excuse me I am totally new to this and I am doing my best.

Looks like a flake from a chert-nodule. (Flint is a form of chert.)

So I looked and it does not scratch glass?

scratch test

Hmmm?

As you see on the non-grey side of your find, the exterior "skin" of chert-nodules tends to deteriorate by weathering, and will no longer scratch glass. You'd need a "fresh" piece from the nodule's interior to do the scratch test on glass. I learned that when I was a rockhound and a Geology Minor back in college.

Remember, I said "looks like." That phrase means it resembles a particular object or material, but it might not actually be. That being said, I still think it looks like a chert-nodule. I suggest you take both of your finds to the nearest college's Geology Department.

Again great response I actually scratched from the sharp non rounded edge but I will check it out w/one of my professors from college
