     Stylized scorpion eccentrics are described as

having one tail rather than the two tails this one

has. But a guess is that this example was also

meant to represent a scorpion. It is very well
made, in fact better than most examples that

have been published. This one was made on

a flake and is basically unifacial except for the

pressure flaking on the projections on the claws

and tails. The curve of the original flake can be

seen in the edge view. This eccentric is very

heavily patinated.
