Hello, here is a BIG! Ultra RARE and 100% Authentic 2.9 to 1.7 MILLION YEAR OLD lower PALEOLITHIC age OLDOWAN Pebble CHOPPER Axe or Early man Artifact and or TOOL with a very well made Chisel Edge!
Pebble TOOLS are the one of the FIRST stone Artifacts made by primitive Humans. By the time early humans "NOT Homo Sapians... you and I" made their way into Northern Africa Pebble Tool technology had already been replaced by the proliferation of Acheulian Bifacial hand axes roughly three quarters of a million years later. Pebble tool traditions were brought into Europe by Homo Erectus and other early humans SPECIES 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 A5" or 12.5rtifact measures nice! 4 1/8" or 10.3cm at its biggest or from the base to the top and a Display STAND is included!
