Possible hammer stone

Haven't posted in a really long time due to not hunting any. Stopped for a few minutes today and found what looks to be a hammer/nutting stone.

JMO it looks like it was used to knapp with or pecking. Cool find I would go back there.

Thanks, it a site where I have found hundreds of flakes and a small handful of points. I think maybe it was a quarry and/manufacturing site. Funny thing is, it's actually just down the road from a still active quarry.

Pecking stone? Wouldn't that be a good name for it maybe?

So, what exactly is the difference between the two? A difference in the amount of force used??

Could also be something in the works and not finished. Hammer is used to hit hard pecking is done lightly like for axes more like a finishing stone.
