Today I went back to the field that I looked 2 hours Sunday and found the 41/4 inch point that I posted. There was a large area of the field that I had not looked. I spent about 3 hours today looking it and was pleased to find these. The first one is a smaller version of the point I posted Sunday.

This one looks like it is broken in the picture, but it is not.

This one has some tip damage. The side is not broken.

This has some damage, but it is large. What would you say it is?

I don't usually post broken points but this one would have been very big.

I don't know what dendrites are.
 

Dendrites form interesting tree / moss like structures, and are usually black. They are made up of manganese, iron, etc. minerals. Here's a photo of a large fully formed dendrite - not an arrowhead, but of a quartz-type rock I found in Eastern Washington.
