Hematite adz or celt ?

[TL Missouri]

This is a hematite adz or celt that I found this past spring. It is 2 1/4in. tall by 2in. wide. very smooth and is beveled on booth sides. It was found on a camp that has old growth oak timber growing on it and over looks a old creekbed. The small piece of hematite in the frame was also found on this site. thanks for looking.

The bit is worked in on both sides to form a point or edge but not very sharp.
