An obsidian crested first series cortical macroblade. 86mm long and 14mm wide. Detached from obsidian polyhedral core by indirect percussion using a moose punch and billet.

This is a gunflint similar to those used in the Civil War era, and was found in Maryland. There is no provenience, but it is an interesting lithic that demonstrates the wide use of flint up to more modern times.
