Lakota spear point

[KeyaPaha]

Was out fixing fence that "used" to cross the creek before the flood last night. Looked down on a sand spit and saw this broken spear point lying there. BONUS! Appears the knapping failed and it was tossed away, as only one side has the most work. Before my Grandfather homesteaded this piece in 1886, there was a semi permanent Lakota settlement just upstream. That is a 4" set of toenail clippers for size comparison

Not sure that’s what it is. Stone doesn’t look right. Dimensions are off

definitely looks worked. Not sure I'd call it a spear point. Maybe a scraper.

It looks like a worked piece to me. Nice find.

Not a point, looks like a blank that was going to be used to make either a hoe or hide scraper but never completed.
