The material is nice, it was definitely broken, but the break seems reworked, like it was being possibly remade into an arrowhead? What are your thoughts? 7E074AB6-99B0-4F88-95DA-5B39FB3A18F1.jpeg 1B9D1CEC-49E5-4820-B10A-13711976EE3C.jpeg AA235920-B21B-49A4-B4AF-EA283C8F9A7E.jpeg D6E15878-1A10-4F85-AB08-DEDFFD1E5090.jpeg

Looks completely natural to me.

Here are some maybe better pictures. I hope that you can see the flaking. The material was identified as petrified wood. Not super common in south east georgia.

It looks extremely water worn. If it's a cryptocrystaline quartz, like flint, the "flaking" could happen just tumbling and getting nicked in a stream. But, is it instead an extremely water worn point, and the flakes were produced by man? I can't say. I can see why you collected it, but I can also see why it could be interpreted as natural.

Sorry, looks completely natural to me, what your calling flaking looks more formed by tumbling in the water to me, at the most a very low 'possibly". I found thousands of maybes and left them in the fields or on the edge of the water banks, I only brought home the whole and broken points. When I left Missouri I left a rock garden in the front yard with hundreds of broken points and tips.
