Blade fragment or flake?

[autographcollector11]

Still far from an expert so need your help. Found on a farm in Iowa. Flake fragment, blade fragment or nothing at all?
Thanks all

This one is hard to say. It could be from knapping or it could be just from broken stone. If it was found on a quarry site or a camp site I would say made from knapping out a tool of some type. Also I don't see any edge flaking from the photo, even though a flake with a sharp edge can be used as a one time tool to cut or skin game. You are no doubt looking close to were you are hunting keep this up and you will find a nice tool or blade.

i am skeptical of everything you have posted. the reason being, they are all the same color, the same stone, the same size and many are obviously not tools or flakes. I think you have found a natural patch of crushed rock and every now and then something pops up that mimics an artifact. As i have said before, it has happened to me but in my case the area was clearly not a layer of artifacts.
