A flint visibly chipped into an elongated organic shape extends horizontally in warm, muted tan with a matte surface. Three parallel ridges run lengthwise between a straight left edge and a rounded, upturned point on the right. A finely serrated bottom edge features small, jagged notches, while visible chips mark the thicker upper edge of this stone tool.
