2 3/4 by 1 5/8 I'm guessing Newnan found by me in Hillsborough County Florida at a dig site. It's paper thin and to be honest I'm surprised I didn't smash it with the shovel. It's made from tan baybottom chert (rare for me, my usual baybottom material was grey/white). It's a little off being symmetrical, would have loved to have seen this one first stage.

Nice point. Why not Hillsborough rather than Newnan?

I'm seeing Hillsborough, too. Hellacious point regardless!

I can do that, a old friend once said it looked like a Newnan/ Hillsborough hybrid too him.

thanks Sand, Hillsborough points I thought evaded me when I was there.

That central Florida stuff is hard to beat. Very nice find!

The main reason I miss Florida, the humidity was terrible but finding the artifacts was worth it.
