Thanks Tracker. I’m thinking that’s a horse shoe nail? I made a notching tool using one but I need to make one with a  better handle. I think I’m going to look at this one for awhile till my thumb feels better. Then try to set up a ridge from opposite side and maybe base. Yeah it not obsidian I think its ridge.

Thanks Eddie. Yeah I think it’s Ridge. Has some patina and like you said I think this is actually a crack not just a step. I think the rest seems pretty solid. The material from the opposite side flacks pretty nice. I am worried about breaking it there and I actually am kinda liking the beast. I might just look at it long enough I decide to halve it to a spear. Like I said it’s been a stubborn one and I really am surprised I got this far with it. I might just clean it up a little more and see if I’m happy with it.
