Flint axe, nice symetry, flake sharpening on its leading edge.

The blue and white platform at the top of the axe kind of looks like the shape of an Orca like whale? even the white patches are in the same areas as they are in actual orca.

Nice piece of broken flint with very little resemblance to the shape of an orca whale. Very impressed if anyone could predict that over several thousands of years, or more, it would ultimately differentially weather to coincidentally produce a completely unconvincing resemblance to the colouration patterns seen on some orcas. You'd have a field day digging the flint in my garden. Only the other week I dug up a whole school of porpoises, two turtles and a halibut. You have to squint a bit to see the halibut.

Native orca axes are rarer then hens teeth...
