There is an old trail that crosses the creek in front of my house. There were camps there at different times for thousands of years. I have found all types of points there for 40 years. The three that I'm posting are different. The shorter one in the pic with two is a type of porus rock. I didn't think it was a point until I noticed it has a ground base, I think it is weathered because of it's softness. The other in that pic is 3 1/2" and made from a flakey rock. The one in my hand was found yesterday. It's the same type material as the first one. Is there any way to ID any of these? Thanks, Tony

Arugalite material and I probably spelled it wrong. The other is Savannah River that looks like a shale.

Thanks for the ID Rock. I hope to find one that size that's not broken. Tony

Those would have been big. Not all but most of ones I find made from those types of material are Savannah Rivers. Nice finds.

All the Savannah Rivers I have found are always broken in half. Not always but they did do what is called killing them for rituals.
