May not be an arrowhead, but would you say this could be an Indian artifact? A hide scrapper maybe

How large is it? I can't tell by the photo. It is arrowhead shaped....It could be some sort of tool (like a hide skinner as you suggested)... perhaps a spearhead? It's interesting to say the least.

@indyjoe it looks right under 2 inches long

Given the shape and the fact it appears to be thicker on one side I would say a small hand ax. One that size would be useful for splitting bones and retrieving the marrow.

It is very smooth on one side, did they smooth these things down?

I just can't tell with nothing to compare it to. If you're right then chances are it is an arrowhead. I've seen stone tools and the shape isn't quite accurate for that.

Where did you find it. I think someone already asked you but that might be a good indicator.

@RayRay77 at a creek in Missouri

@Deeperminds it might be a scraper. My son used to look for arrowheads and he found quite a few along riverbanks and streams. You could look up what Indian tribes used to live and hunt in that area and you might find pictures.

It may be... But it does not appear to have been worked or chipped a great deal.. It may be just coincidental.
