That is a beauty in form, color and material. It looks to have very slight shoulders so I would probably call that one a Fox Creek / Steubenville unless the base or lower sides were heavily ground. Fox Creeks' from a bit south of you are usually made of rhyolite or argillite, but I would prefer them in a colorful jasper like yours for sure. HH

Thanks everyone... It was suggested on another site that it's a fox creek as well... I'd like to think it's older, but I'm going with Fox Creek. Yes, this one is jasper, though I did find an argillite fox creek at the same site.

Yeah, could be a Fox. Usually more base to them, but like I said before about points, they do vary with all types. And in the end, its a smart looking point to have in a frame!!
