Later Acheulian Exotic Stones / b)stjust

Scraper with echinoid cast, Saint-Just-des-Marais, France (Oakley 1973)

Comment: Note that the scraper is flaked so as to place the center of fossil at the center of the scraper such athat the five arms radiate from the center. Compare Isastraea fossil in subsequent slides with similar pentagonal shape.
