Blade/Scraper/preform?

[HillBilly244]

I don't know what kind of flint or material this is but just wondering if it's a type of blade or preform? Thanks for looking!

Probably some type of small blade or scraper. It could be something unfinished. It's still cool whatever it is.

Hey that looks super familiar. I’d say yours has some cortex though and I’d go preform

I believe you're right and it does look like the same type of flint for sure.

With cortex showing on both sides it looks like that started as a tabular piece of flint. When quarrying in a creek, those tabular pieces are great for making a single point. It saves so much time by starting with a flat piece of flint vs reducing a whole nodule.
