Would love and appreciate any help identifying these points. These were found by my late father in the early 60's in northern Nevada near Jackpot. Would like to know age and what they are made of. I think they are Clovis.
Thank you.

They don't look like Clovis culture to me, There are no basal fluting apparent in the images.

Is there any basal grinding? Are the basal areas complete or broken off on all the examples, one appears to be broken.

the material looks to be obsidian or a high grade fine grained basalt from the images, but it would take in person viewing to know the material 100%.

The basal areas are complete on two of them with one being broken at a angle. The material is shinny
