Here's a Jack's Reef from RI. The material probably came from PA........

OOoo that is a nice one !

Thanks. Funny thing is I found the point years ago but didn't know what the material was until told by someone who recognized it, and just 2 weeks ago. Only piece I've ever found of oolitic chert.

I learned something new today. :thumbsup:
 

That looks like a quartzite we have here called black quartzite. I found a artifact about 6 months ago that I thought was a piece of granite in a strange shape. Ended up being a early biface and made from black quartzite.
