I found this near a rockshelter in an eroded pile of dirt. Some other people have told me it looks Folsomish, but it doesn't really look flaked to me. Opinions?

Really hard to tell from your pictures but I see the possibility of it being a broken Clovis point.

It's too small to id as anything in particular. In addition, I don't think I see any work on that chip. JMHO Yak

Photo two looks like it could be a piece of a Folsom. It looks like there is real fine retouch on that one lateral edge which is characteristic of Folsom points. Other photos are hard to tell. If you can get a few more photos, that may help. Thanks for sharing.

What are you guys seeing? And I really do apologize, but I'm holding my head, howling. How- what... I mean. Someone said it looked like a piece of a Clovis. Now Folsum. It's a chip no bigger than my pinky nail, and you can see a paleo frag? REALLY? Someone needs to explain this to me. How do you see that? Just askin'- Yak

I agree with Yakker, it looks like a naturally, broken chip/flake. I don't see any way to ID these piece of material as an artifact.
