You have posted in gold prospecting forum....that said it seems to be an obsidian arrowhead. Nice find.

I know it’s obsidian, I was wondering age and style.

Uncommon to see Obsidian like that in Ohio . Usually it will be made of flint or chert or what ever they used . Your point is unusually pristine (no chips)

Appears to be a Windust Paleo to Early Archaic 10,500 to 8000 B.P.

Obsidian is hard to date, it can still be glossy and quite old, some weathering brownish to gray.
One of the easiest lithics to knap. Wonderful find!

Where was this point found?? And do you have any other pic's showing the thickness ?

Beautiful point! But then, obsidian is almost always beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Private property in East Idaho. A pic of Both sides and thickness.
