More artifacts (maybe?) that I'm unsure of....

Need help on these. Found in an area where I found lots of flakes and a full point last week. If the points not full, I have a difficult time telling if it's an artifact or not, especially since its mostly quartz here. All found in South Carolina. Any help would be appreciated.

My theory is that I either have a broken tip, broken base, and crystal quartz scraper, or a whole bunch of rocks.

I attached a bunch of photos at varying angles. The tip looks good from one side, but is a little crude on the other, I try to show that.

I included multiple photos of the "base" from different angles and a cross-section photo.

Last we have that crystal quartz piece, to me it appears to be worked around the edges. It feels and looks beveled down, in the right light I think I can even make out undulations from when it was pressure flaked. But I could be wrong, please let me know your opinions!

All are artifacts by definition. The little triangle looks mostly complete. You do have a base off of a Gary related point. One little thumb scraper and th e rest debitage.
