Found this one Saturday. The shape is great...that material is not consistent with any point I have found. It may be just a coincidental shape  Wink. Would love y'all's opinion. Undecided

Well, you are right about the material looking different.
Material used for "knapped" or "chipped" artifacts has got to have a "conchoidal" fracture
and this doesn't look like it. This might be a sandstone? But there is no working visible on it.
Thanks for the pics of both sides. This is what we call a "geofact", completely naturally formed rock, not an artifact.
It does have a shape similar to an artifact. You're on the trail!

Yup, geofact in fact. It does look like sandstone.
