I found this artifact in the same location as I found the points I posted earlier in the week. I was wondering if anyone can enlighten me as to whether this may be some sort of tool? I was thinking it may some sort of scraper, but wasn’t sure if there were any fashioned this small. It measures 23mm x 19mm. The first photo illustrates the artifact beside a dime for scale. The second photo is the opposite side, followed by a profile shot and the last image is viewing from the center of the edge which extends along 3 sides. Thank you very much for any assistance!

Nice material. Looks a lot like English flint. Maybe made from ballast material? Are you near the coast? Gary
