Description

Light yellowish-brownish grey flake, roughly square shaped with an extension off the top left side. The top has wear along the ridges. The bottom of the rock has a break in it across much of the surface. The yellow tint is caused by the soil on the surface of the rock. The chipped edges reveal a darker core.
