Found this corner notch in small Creek be.
Broken base. I think it’s made of flint ridge flint from southeastern Ohio.
Found it in central Kentucky.

FWIW, the formation that produces Flintridge continues into Kentucky.

Pretty little guy even if broken, awesome find!

Nice material!

Is it beveled? On the left? I wonder if it could be a Thebes considering the beveling, flaking, location, material, etc... Of course I know the defining "Stem" is missing.

No beveling. I wonder if it was a spear point or a knife. However, why make a knife with protruding ears and if one broke a knife of such pretty flint wouldn’t you make it into a smaller point?

Welcome, nice find. Could be Kentucky Hornstone material.

I've never heard that before. Have you got any more info on this? I know there is loose Flintridge in a creek in IN that the glacier moved but in KY? Gary
