Hello, you guys inspired this post past couple days with the best of stuff....that said, earlier this year I found my first chert piece, have been very lucky right on my property, and now have a few cool pieces. Here’s the bifurcated base points I’ve located in the cliff overhangs so far. Please add yours to this post, Would love to see the varieties out there. Not sure of chert types, enjoy and thanks !

We don't find many bifurcates in our area although we have found a couple. Here is one made out of Spanish Diggings Quartzite. It measures exactly 1 inch in length.
 

No chance of finding one in Florida,Lol.good show Quinn...Oops, I think I found what might be considered one,?..Maybe a Florida cousin,?
