Found this one today in the edge of the field. My books are at a friends house. Found in South Arkansas. It's all there and a neat little point. Any ideas? Thanks...d2

Sequoyah or Scallorn. Although, I'm starting to rethink all I knew (or thought I knew) on the Scallorn point. I don't believe the distribution of them is as large as proclaimed. Conversely, I think Sequoyah family is much larger than thought.

most Scallorn has a wider base

There are several different types of Scallorn (Coryell, Eddy, Sattler, etc) and outlines change with resharpening, etc. However, I really don't believe it's probably a Scallorn either.
 
if i had to id it.
i would id. it as a steiner
because of the the serrated on the right side

May be Steiner, however, they generally have much more exaggerated serrations and a less pronounced basal area. Sequoyah are typically very serrated, some far more than others. There are many types of Sequoyah: the Pocola and even the Agee "A" that Perino typed is probably more Sequoyah related than Agee itself - Greg even agreed to this.

The most recognized Sequoyah variety is probably the least found. I know it as "Prestige" variety. It is the very long, very serrated, bulbous base beauty. They were primarily used as offerings and will often be found in large groups.
