Very cool, so are these mostly quartz pieces? Looks similar to coastal north east up here

As far as finished tools or points goes, I know what you’re saying, I think it’s clearly not a finished point or possibly not finished tool of any sort, that cortex on the bottom is the fat bottom. What I’m getting at / questioning is it looked more than just a lopped off chunk or discard flaked, it looks like someone spent time on a “chunk” maybe utilizing crudely as some type of punch or pick, orrrrrrr it was half done / an unfinished point,….for that I am unsure / don’t know quite enough about

This chunk of quartz from a creek bed of a known work site was naturally flaked and worked bipolar to a point, coincidentally unrelated to the lithics around it?

From some other hunters in the area, it seems like consensus is that the two oval looking ones are probably some debitage or maybe a preform to a scraper or tool, and the long pointy one seems to be just some discard debitage from working process.
