Pinetrees on the riverbank

[ohio]

I found this two weeks ago in the sand. Only the median ridge was showing. It is toothy to say the least.

Whoa !!!!!!!!

One in several hundred -- minimum.

What's it made of ?

[artorius]

Wow!

That would be the find of a season for me. And not every season either.

Thanks everyone. I am not really sure what it is made of. At first I thought heavily patinated hornstone which my buddy suggested as well. After really looking at it though I kinda tossed out that idea. I am really not sure.

Very fine artifact!

[Tnmountains]

yeah that is sweet. What a saw. No way it could be fort payne chert right?

[ohio]

TN, no I do not believe it is Fort Payne. I am kinda stumped really. I am happy to have found it.

Thanks for the replies guys. I was pretty happy when I found it. It would have made a really super in-situ shot. Greg, the material is definitely not carter. I am pretty familiar with that stuff as we find a lot of it in my area. Have you been finding anything lately?

i thought it was dead on for carter cave,orangish hue,waxy texture and I am assuming you hunt the ohio river area which is in the distribution range for carter.but you would know better than I because i dont find it much this far north.where at do you live down there?I used to hunt the ohio river alot,love hunting that area.i used to hunt spots between marrietta and stuebenville.i havent hunted much lately,every time i plan on an all day hunt something comes up and derails my hunt.planning on alot of hunting this weekend.lol.actually hitting some creeks today.again great find chuck.

Greg, yeah we find a lot of Carter Cave down here. I live in downtown Cincinnati and walk a lot of banks near here. Where exactly are you? My Stepfather just purchased 50 acres in Licking Co. I have been wanting to go check it out. Good luck today. I walked a little yesterday and found a nice intrusive mound point made of Boyle chert.
