Frog Stone and Paleolithic Tools

One of the characters in the Creation Story of the Yuman speaking Mojave People is known as Frog, Daughter of Matavelya and sister to Mastamho and Kataar. Here is a representation of her, and some of the tools the ancients used to make it. Paleolithic art is special, because more then one image is on each stone. I believe they were used in story telling, where you could shift the stone just a little bit and talk about another character.

Maybe it's just a flat stone?

Thought of that, but the combination of tool marks on the stone lead me to the inevitable conclusion that this piece has been modified by the hand of man. Stones of this type can also be found at "Day's Knob" in Ohio. Photographic resolution with the equipment I have do not do my Finds justice. You have to have the piece in your hand to fully appreciate the hologram like qualities, where a small shift in viewing angle or incident illumination causes different aspects of the art work to be seen.

You look as if you might be an expert in ancient stone age tools. If you don't mind taking a look at something I found here in North Carolina. I've had several people tell me it looks like a stone age dagger of sorts from the paleolethic time frame. Let me know what you think:

If you could search 'Artifact found while prospecting' video here on Youtube you will see it. My handle is rocket1222. Thank you in advance for letting me know what you think.
