The large Adena is 6" for reference. the Adena is made of Fort Payne Chert, the white Dove is 4 7/8" made of Laurel Chert and from Montgomery Co. KY. the Thebes id Hornstone and from KY, the Dovetail Drill is from Ohio, the green Dovetail is from Adams County (Sonora Flint), and the funny lookin "dino tooth" is a personal find along the Ohio River in SW Ohio, this is probably Paleo. I found this piece stuck in the bank of the river. At first i thought it was a red balloon, but then i got closer and noticed it was a perfectly circular print of red Ocher in 10,000 year old clay. This carter Cave Flint knife form was stuck in the dead center. I think this relic was originally in an animal skin bag full of red ocher. thanks for looking!.

Exceptional pieces! The knife and how you found it are truly amazing. It pays to be observant and your theory of the red ocher skin bag sounds right.
 

Those are really spectacular!
