Professional Help Needed - What did I Find?

[a32deuce]

Found near Iraan, Texas laying on a hill side. I was pretty excited, but don't have a clue what it is other than it is an American Indian artifact and has been obviously worked. Was it used for an axe, skinning knife or what? As you can see from the pics, it is quite large and fills up my hand. Measures 5 & 1/2" Tall - 4 & 1/4" Wide and the base is 1&1/2". Regretably I accicentally dropped it and it broke. Is now super glued, with a small chip missing, which I could not refind. Was very angry with myself for allowing that to happen. Anyway it is what it is. Does it have any value to collectors? Any and all input appreciated. Thanks for looking.

It look's like it was a preform.

The outline and the cortex on the base are classic for a Kerrville knife. A cool texas relic.

It looks to me to be a Kerrville knife. Google it and see what you think. I'm not familiar with Texas point types but this may point you in the right direction.

Nice find, but you have to stop dropping it! Actually probably everyone has dropped one. I dropped a whole but rough red jasper hopewell point is a parking lot, broke it in half and never could find the tip.

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it very much. It would indeed appear that I have a "Kerrville Knife".

Looks like a classic Kerrville Knife to me. I've always heard those are very rare finds.

Great find!!

Looks like part of a spade or digging stone to me

Looks like a broken spade to me, a digging tool & nothing more IMO

[Treefrog]

very nice find, sorry it got dropped, that had to hurt....
don't worry though I accidentally threw away the following points in the trash and didn't realize it till about 3 days later when it was too late to do anything about it.
