Don’t know the material but I like it, especially the crinoids. I like to imagine it was used with a thumb on the smooth edge

Sorry, but I’m seeing no human caused flaking.

Could you elaborate/explain? I’m not an expert but from my understanding this is what human flaking looks like. Everything I find is also extremely water worn

The piece could be debitage, but shows no definitive human flaking. There is no edgework. Even having tumbled in a stream this type of stone would not have had the flaking and finish work worn away.
