Found this yesterday... jasper, nicely made, water worn, can't tell if it's broken or not! I was thinking broken brewerton eared, halfted scraper, or a small knife of some kind. The area that looks broken is not a clean break... it appears to be a series of flakes and chips smoothed over by the water (or at least, that's what I think. So... I can't confirm if it's broken or not.) It's also more beefy than it is flat... so I don't think it's a broken triangle point. What do you think this thing is?

The incurvate edge is very common with Woodland triangles. And the most common break seen on triangles is at the corner. Not sure why, but the most common damage when a triangle is damaged is at one corner only. And you can see there is a break at one corner that is water worn. The tip as well has slight damage. Not sure what region you found it in but I have seen hundreds of Levanna triangles with the exact same form and one broken corner. Just my best guess......

Water leaves a nice polish and stain but does kill the flaking and edge work sometimes. No guesses except for a very nice eye appeal from me.
