Hey all! Just purchased these from a local auction and was hoping I could get some terminology on what these are and what they were used for. Still learning so any info is appreciated. Thanks!

On TNet here you might Get Fat to look at them. He is excellent on Indian Artifacts

... I would call those, scrapers, knifes and cores. There might be a preform too.
There pretty much field grade stuff but all look good to me.
Thanks Gare!

Most look like quarry blanks to me. In the first picture there is one (top row, third from the left) that looks like it could have some use polish on the end and might have been used as an adz.

Those are cache blades. The Natives would bury those together, dig them up when needed to make knives and spear points out of them. They buried them so they wouldn't be stolen or lost.

Aren't these made of minerals and would break easily?

No, they are not, while they can be broken they do not easily break.
