I guess I did find something worth asking about today, sorry if it's just a rock

I am not so sure this is just a rock, but as you have seen I am not always correct in my initial thoughts so here I go again... I found this out in the local field today during a 4 hour search that turned up many nice rocks. I thought I came out with zero artifacts, but forgot about this piece that is so thin that I had to put it in a container because I was afraid I would break it. It was quite coated in dirt and I wasn't real optimistic about it. Just now I remembered it was there and took it out and washed it up thinking it would confirm my initial feeling that it was just a rock. It is extremely sharp, very thin and almost looks serrated. Sorry in advance if this is another geofact. I feel pretty good about this one but I am not always right about these things.

It is hard to tell from the pic, this is looking strait down the length of it. It is very thin along a strait line along both sides strait down the length of it.

I cannot say about the item, but your cuticles are nice

I think it's possible you have a spoke shaveof sorts.
 
I agree with spoke shave. Used to clean the bark off arrows , etc.
 
Thanks guys. That might explain why the inside bend appears so finely sharpened. Now I know right where to begin my next search.
