  Looks like a spear point to me.  Being sharpened on both edges might make it a bit tough to hold for hide scrapin'.

  Deer hunting many years ago we crossed a field that until then had never been tilled.  Found a "perfect" stone ax head laying right on top of the ground!  (3" X 7").  Also a "catch" that had old jugs, kerosine lamps, tools and the like.  Still have a few of the jugs.

  Yep, squirrels chewing on bone.

  I agree, rodents chewing on bone or antler.  Impossible to tell if it was a human used artifact before, but if bone or antler, unlikely, that needs really good conditions, like a dry cave, to survive long.
