    From the Puget Sound site that I've been finding my artifacts, I found this...

    Any ideas?

    Sure, the edge of a stone (most likely artifact) that experienced a bending fracture.

    Thanks !

    Had to look up what a bending fracture is...

    per Wiki "what is referred to as a bending fracture, so-called because the flake is quite literally bent or "peeled" from the objective piece. Flakes removed in this manner lack a bulb of percussion, and are distinguished instead by the presence of a small lip where the flake's stiking platform has separated from the objective piece"
