                Definitely an arrowhead, for a really BIG arrow!

                  Edwards co, I have found lots of stuff over the years. Never this big though

                    It's a slightly unusual Kerrville knife. Middle archaic. Cool find

                        They were made huge. Mostly used fir processing cactus. They were certainly helpful in processing bison as well. Generally, one end of a chert cobble is left unfinished with cortex while the other end is worked into a nice blade. That is almost the way yours is made except the hand end of skinned off.

                            That's a "Preform" (unfinished piece, meant to be later further refined into something else)

                              That there is a T-Rex arrowhead, it takes a pretty stiff spined arrow to get em to fly true.
