No, what you have is simply a broken biface.
Also, not all crescent are paleo. There are two types- those in the far west and the southwestern crescents. Some of the western crescents have been found in very early context, but not the others.

Biface ? Both sides worked
Grobb first welcome to the forum. I'm thinking what you have there could be the business end of possibly a hoe. How thick is the piece? If you could take pictures of the broken side, the front of the blade looking down on the tip and a side shot. This will help...... I'm pretty sure it is either that or a flint axe,more likely a hoe though.......
It does look like the corner of a broken biface. The flat edge is the break.
It can always be a flake blade. It's not a crescent knife as defined by the western types that go by that name. It could be made off a large flake.
Going to have to stick to my call. I still think it is a hoe. The tip shows usage wear and I'm just not seeing the bi face knife on this one. The way it is bladed is just like a hoe. This would be a diamond shape if whole is what I'm assuming Aleisters and just plain are saying? Only one type and at first stage it could possibly be close, that would be a harahey knife. This has the form of a hoes business end.
