Default Horse Creek Chert?

I forgot about this large piece (was one piece but has been broken into two pieces) of what I believe to be Horse Creek Chert. I found this yesterday on top of the ridge while metal detecting. It was along the gravel road and I have no idea as to how it arrived there.
If I knew how to make arrowheads, Man what could be done with these pieces! The lower piece is 7/8" to 1" thick with a slight curve and the top piece is 1" to 1 1/4" thick and flat.

Just Thought It Was Neat As I've Never Found Chert Pieces This Large,
Thanks For Looking, WVTom Correct Me On The Chert Name,
Happy Hunting, Roger

I wish that I knew a bit more about Indian artifacts. The place where we've been hunting CW stuff is supposed to have a lot of arrow heads in the ground. I have yet to uncover any. That Chert you have is nice though! Here's to COLD digging!

Question not familier with it but will study on it....

....Raw-War digger. it may still be easy to pressure flake though. it looks like big pieces brought from the source to cache or to a camp site??
