Hello, here is a Ultra RARE and 100% Authentic 2.9 to 1.7 MILLION YEAR OLD lower PALEOLITHIC age OLDOWAN Pebble CHOPPER Axe or Early man TOOL with a very well made Chisel Edge! Pebble TOOLS are the FIRST stone TOOLS made by primitive Humans! By the time early humans made their way into northern Africa Pebble Tool technology had already been replaced by the proliferation of Acheulian bifacial handaxes roughly three quarters of a million years later. Pebble tool traditions were brought into Europe by Homo Erectus and other early humans moving north up from the African continent.
Here's more info long but interesting......This pebble Axe or chopper artifact was made from a natural RIVER COBBLE...neat! The Oldowan pebble tool tradition, named after the Oldowan Gorge in Kenya, East Africa where tools were first found and described... very interesting! It was found many years ago on an eroded site near El Kherba, North Africa, Algeria.
This artifact measures nice! 5" or 15.5cm at its biggest or from side to side and a Display STAND is included!
