Just wanted to share , this point I found a while back with some type of fossil, or is it? Its fluted at the tip, its ears got broke when my wife, washed it, it was in my pocket, my fault,lol. It looked like a wolf,when the ears were there, the winking wolf. IMAG0824.jpg IMAG0825_1.jpg IMAG0827_1.jpg

Is it made from limestone? I like the black flint points from the area. You have found some nice looking artifacts, rock

The point has a broken tip.
That does look like a small fossil inclusion in the flint.

The flute at the tip was created by the impact that broke the tip, driving a flake downward at impact. An impact fracture in other words. Nice find.

I do think they saw it as a canvas and bet they were proud of their work much as we are today.

Nice, is that a hatchet next to the hoe,. Does the fossil hoe, seem to be really hard, or does the fossils make it seem more brittle. Thanks Justintime...

Well I don't know what area you are in but these type of fossils are pretty darn hard the hatchet is a harder fossil than the hoe but both are tough harder than limestone but not as hard as granite
