Found this in the bank of a creek. All surrounding rock and stone was completely differant color and type. It caught my eye and went into the pouch. You all know how that goes. Not sure if its a geofact or not, so any insight would be appreciated. Looks like a scraper with a real uniform tooled edge. I used the dime for size reference. Thanks in advance.

Looks like a hafted adze to me. In FL mostly made of shell but look exactly the same and very similar size. Hafted on top of an "elbow" stick. I'm assuming the bit edges are worked and worn, should be very easy to see and feel.

Sort of looks like a small digging tool, but those are usually larger. I have seen axes that small. Just a guess.
 
This looks similar. It seems like a petrified bone that has been worked. The small end seems to have a notch where a nerve or vein ran.
