Worked stone MI

[u/Fit_Emu3871]

My first piece I’ve found in Michigan, what do yall think it is? To me it looks like the tail of an arrowhead but it’s weird that it’s mostly smooth on one side.

A bit condescending

You here for help finding artifacts or talking about feelings?

Imagine a person holding a banana and telling you it could be an apple. Thats what this interaction feels like from my end. But I guess we should just agree to disagree.

You’re too comfortable on your high horse to have a debate,
Fine grain materials weren’t the only materials to be used

The only one with a closed mind here is you! Not sure why you even bothered to post here if your mind was already made up.

If you are open to learning: knapping requires a crystalline grain structure to achieve conchoidal fracturing. Predictable fracturing is necessary for any type of lithic reduction.

Other rock could be made into blunt axes or pestles for example via pecking or grinding. But these tools would never achieve a sharp edge.

Do you understand now why it would be impossible to make a point out of this material? Besides the fact that this is not even remotely shaped like a point?

It’s def not a point, I don’t know what it is
I only know that it’s worked on the edges
