Im almost sure the one on left is but looking for confirmation on them all. All found at the farm. All 3 found within 20 yard...two on right found together. Mid MO on river buff

I don't believe any of those belong to the Cody Complex.
The one you're almost sure of is most likely a heavily resharpened Hardin.

Tkaz, nice finds. I also see Hardin when I look at the bottom piece (left if the picture is rotated.) If you look down at the tip I'd bet there is some beveling present. Missouri Scottsbluff points tend to be a bit wider, have a couple of long flakes taken from each side that meet in the middle near the base, and often have a delta (triangle) shape area on the base.

Hardin points in Missouri are basically the same age as Scottsbluff, and they almost certainly bumped into each other at quarries. Cody Complex is older, but they overlapped for a period of time. I think of Scotties being older, cooler cousins of Hardin points.

Scottsbluff makers were probably still hunting bison in mostly plains and grasslands. Hardin points were probably used by hunters focusing more on bison and deer living in wooded areas and hilly areas.

Now that was some good info. Id like to hear more responses like that more often.
