3 x 1 1/2 Kaolin Folsom. Pretty nice when your friends drop gifts on ya like this! Thanks Dave!
1 1/2 inches wide?
Pretty amazing ...must be some kind of a record for a Folsom.
i wish i had one,got one i thought was one ,broke but ill try to find it View attachment 1407235 could take awhile.
Sorry, that is not a Folsom Point. I think you really need to do some intense research before you buy any more of those. That may be Paleo, but definitely not Folsom.
View attachment 1407452 Grim, in your expert opinion - Which of these 2 is closer to mine? Show me yours so i can get a better understanding of what to look for. Meanwhile, i will let both authenticators know that they made a mistake. I know your idea of a Folsom is small and thin and fluted all the way to the end. But keep in mind that sometimes they made a spearpoint to get the job done, not pass the Grim Reaper approval. Oh, and b.t.w. - this is not a purchased point.
It's not my idea of a Folsom. it is the accepted idea by archaeological scholars everywhere that Folsoms are made a certain way and that one doesn't even come close to one. We are only trying to help you out. Did you find it?
Oh, and b.t.w., I don't have a Folsom Point because for one, I can't afford an actual true Folsom and two, I wouldn't trust buying one unless I saw it found.
Also, yours doesn't look anything like a Folsom. Clovis, maybe.
all your stuff looks like reproductions!! All of it even your axe.
View attachment 1407587 I picked this one up myself from the sands of Nm. just west of Andrews Tx. and north of the Monahan sand dunes. It is 2in long and 15/16 wide and the very outstanding ears and a double flute to the tip makes it very rare. It's been in a frame for over 30 years and there it will stay till I'm gone and I have been offered some big money for it. Most Folsom's have straight ears some have a flare, I have always been torn between calling it a Clovis or a Folsom. The bottom says Clovis, the top says Folsom. The stone is a Alibates (spelling may be off)
One thing that is usually true for those style points is that the width is usually half the length. Yours fits that as well as the one i posted
I would love to read any professional publication concerning Folsom points where the author states this as being "true":
“One thing that is usually true for those style points is that the width is usually half the length”.
Could you please provide us a reference from any professional publication to back this statement up?

You sir are the expert. My comments are all wrong and yours is all right. My artifacts are all fake and yours are all real. Wow wait, If i say this then of course you are going to disagree, so then all my artifacts and comments were true all along! Woohoo!
