OK, Thumbscrapers! Who's got some?

Well Larson, I thought we should have another thread for these guys. I do have several frames of personal finds, but I am going to start with those that I have acquired. Our material over here, isn't as nice as what you guys have over there except for a few exceptions.
The single frame is a lot of mainly KRF favorites I put together years ago. I should re-do it, or make few more. And then there is the only artifact I have made from this type of an agate.

wow I have never heard a name put to them...great bit of information to me...THNX!! Gonna have to dig through my what are they boxes now ;)
some more asst'd
note the last image is to show some of the ways of dating these
i have said this a few times in other related posts and i surely don't wanna sound like a broken record but.................
.............in my hand are two KRF examples, the one on the right has a rounded working edge which tells it is of a newer type........
the scraper on the left is an older example which is evident by either one or two graver spurs on the business end of these tools
i only mean what i have learned about the finds from my area and i don't know about others since these scraper tools can be found in most any state in the country
