Has the shape of a Kerrville Knife....

Well you know in TEXAS those things are pretty big Bravo! haha Nice piece!

That's basically a Brazos version of a Kerrville knife. Just a river cobble worked to on chopper end and left dull for a hand hold on the other.

Interesting find, I agree with what Garscale said.

Looked kinda familiar after thinking about it. Dug around and found this one. I think they were a nice hand held chopper.Fort Payne chert here.

possibly began life similarly but at this point there are no cutting edges This piece has more backbone and is thicker than the Kerrville. Tip is broken off. I'll show pic in x section. Also was not found anywhere near the Brazos as stated in OP it was found in Brown County. finding a little cortex on tools in west tx is not limited to Kerrville Knives.

Well I agree with that entirely. I didn't know where it was found but the stone looks like iron rich Brazos cobble. At any rate those tools generally have the same basic function as a chopper. The tip likely got broke.... Chopping. Just my opinion so take it or leave it I guess. I'm new here.
