    This is one of the more interesting bifaces in the Fenn cache because it has the best example of an over-shot flake removal. At nearly 4 inches wide (3 13/16 inches (9.7 cm) it certainly has the largest flake removal of this type than any other artifact in the Fenn cache. Another smaller over-shot flake can be seen near the point. The opposite side has an over-shot fake that measures 2 inches (5.1 cm) wide. This biface is made of opaque black Obsidian and it measures 7 5/8 inches (19.4 cm) long.
