Not sure what this is. Worked down all around. Not broken. Preform maybe?

Could be a preform, a work in progress, a discard or a blade by a unexperienced knapper. Still a cool find though. Here's a few pictures of a unfinished piece and a crude blade or a attempt at a point. I usually don't post these but I find them interesting.

Very cool. I like the oddballs. It's fun to sit and ponder them trying to figure out why they were made that way.

Taking the picture of the little one I noticed a design in the material (pics 6&7) makes me like it a little more.

What is that in the material?

The flaking on that preform is interesting, there’s probably not enough passes to be sure but reminds me of the kind of flaking you’d see on a Cody complex piece

No clue, doesn't appear to be a fossil.

Really weird looking.

If it’s the brown staining you are referring to? That would be where metal at one time years ago hit it. It’s a sign of age

Talking about the white circular mark towards the base in last picture.

I see it now. That is unusual

It doesn't look like a natural inclusion.
