Found this today walking the creek. Is it a point or scraper of some kind?

Looks like a thumb or turtle back scraper to me. Keep on the hunt, your really finding a lot of good artifacts.

Also agree with Fat's comment.

Looks like an unfinished biface to me. Could have been used as a scaper or other uses. I the last pic, you can see a ridge that goes across the top third of the biface. That ridge is what probably caused it to be discarded. Not possible to flake over a mistake (or bad spot in the stone) like that and get a point. I knapped for 22 yrs. and look at these things through the eyes of a knapper. Gary

IMO flake core. Notice striking nipples set up for further flakes to be removed (edge view).

I think Gary nailed it. I was going to say basically the same thing.
