It has been formed from a dark grey flint. The bulb of percussion and striking platform are both evident and ripples of percussion are still evident. The dorsal surface is still coated with 25% natural cortex. There are also many shallow arrises. The upper half of the dorsal surface has been heavily retouched, forming a scraper end. The retouch is steep and elaborate.
