bjrogg:
After I looked at it again, it looks to me like it must have been sitting with the side up like in second picture. There is a patina on flake removed area there.
I agree with Zuma wow pretty stuff. Surprised it didn't become more than a preform.

Looks like a "quarry blank".  Chipped around the edges for transport.  Probably ended up far from the original source.  Most likely "Late Archaic" by the size (blanks got smaller over time).

Orrum:
Some of them western States get upset about folks picking up artifacts, so much so that they have laws against it. It doesn't look patina old enough to me either . X2 Eddie and the pros!

Where I live you can't dig for artifacts. But anything you can pick up is fair collection.
My buddy that found it is a native, he basically can do whatever he wants lol
