I found an AXE! I think??

[Charmin]

The kids and I went creek walking yesterday and found some really cool stuff. I think I found a double-bitted axe? I can't figure out the material on this ! It is a dark charcoal color and looks like it has iron(?) deposits on it and little white fossils. Could it be Pitkin/Pitken chert? Most of the stuff from this area is Kay and Foreacre chert. The axe measures about 3 1/2" so its kinda small.
We also found 2 other beautiful small points. The first point(Kay chert?) is tiny!!(my 13 year old daughter found this) and has great flaking on one side but the other side is smooth?! is that typical of small points?? I also found a bluish(foreacre?) colored point--is this a base or side-notch?
We only got one in-situ before the batteries went down on the camera--sorry!!(I know everyone on here likes to see where the points were found).

Thanks for looking and any help with ID of type or material would be greatly appreciated!(We are such newbies at this and there is so much to learn ) sandcreek4

Wow!!!! I would give anything for a day like that! Great finds by all of you and your kids are so lucky to be involved so young. I wish that I had been doing this years ago. I am just past my first year into this "addiction" and there is no end in site Great job and photos. Please hit that spot again and show us what else you discover. Stay safe!
