That was one fine paleo piece! Shame the base is broken but still a very fine artifact.

Ok, here is my opinion for what its worth. remember Im just looking at pics and could be totally wrong.
First, the notches are ground into it instead off being flaked. this was common with novelty points because speed was the factor instead of function. The general shape looks to be from a slab instead of a Knapped stone.
The material certainly isnt native to east tx and looks to be Rhyolite from central Mexico.
Once again, thats just opinion and Ii certainly wouldnt question anyones integrity from a picture. Steve

Originally posted by cphillips View PostI think you are correct, and here is why. When I took these pics I noticed it had glue in the center on the bottom, as if it had been attached to something. After further discussion with my dad and looking at some pictures we figured out that it fell off of an arrow that we purchased in the smokey mountains, at a gift shop some 15 years ago. Guess it was just pure luck that we stumbled across it when we were building the house pad out in the pasture. On another note I'm headed to the ranch this weekend to try and find some real ones again.

Was down this past weekend getting setup for the upcoming season this past weekend and I have made it a mission to start setting apart at least an hour or two to try to locate some areas that might have some artifacts. Well back in quail season I found a broken piece in this cactus flat that's about 200-300 yards south of the main creek on the property. I walked through it Saturday and started finding good broken flint. I was about to turn back and go back to the truck and then decided I'd walk to the next bend. When I found this little point. I know it's nothing compared to some of what y'all find but it's my closest thing to being a full point that I've found since I was a kid and didn't really appreciate it like I do now. What do you guys say it is? Also, the other piece appears to be a broken? It appears worked and pretty evenly flaked on both sides. There is a large ridge on one side of the creek, should I focus on this ridge more? I'm really interested in this stuff. This is located Southwest of Carrizo Springs.
