Uniface point?

[Fossils]

Howdy folks. I was digging at a toolworking site and found this interesting worked stone. It has the characteristics of a pressure flake (flaked on one side, uniface shear on the other), but has a serrated edge and ends in a sharp point. Could it be a flake that they attempted to shape into a projectile point?

Thanks for lookin.

It was attached to the mother stone (core) on the flat side (note the curvature). I'd say that's a spall that was minimally touched up, via percussion, to make a cutting/scraping tool--commonly called it a unifacial scraper. The material is likely rhyolite.

Exactly what Tdog said.

In the European sense of the term, it is "point" because the sides converge into one. But it's a pointed knife in our sense. FWIW
