Might be. Austin's a good place for Paleo stuff.

 

[Snorlax]

Woo, that's exciting! Would be my first paleo find.

I'd say this lick (red circle) broke it.



I love that root beer flint. The absence of flute(s), (thinning strikes instead) and not enough discernable 2ndary edge work, from your pics, to convince me it was complete at one time. It's got the lanceolate shape though so it could be trans paleo--early archaic. I have a question--is the base ground?

You beat me to it. I think it was intended to he a paleo point but he broke it in manufacture. Still...all paleo good paleo.

Someone on the arrowhead subreddit mentioned it could a saint mary's hall

 

[Snorlax]

No the base doesn't seemed ground and feels relatively sharp for what it is still.

Great material! Even broken it is still a very good find!!

Not saint Mary's hall. I would guess intended to be Golondrina but that's a guess.

That was my thoughts too.
