Cortex remains on one third of right side on the dorsal margin showing through on to the ventral face. The dorsal face shows the removal of three narrow parallel blades. The ventral face shows a prominent bulb of percussion indicating probable use of a hard hammer.

A very small amount of cortex remains on half of right side dorsal margin. Mid-gloss patina and irregular in shape with a triangular cross section. There is a possible deliberate notch in the top right side of the dorsal face and multiple narrow blade removal scars. The ventral face shows a prominent bulb of percussion and conchoidal ripples indicating probable use of a hard hammer.
