Big un from early June

OK, here goes. 37 gave me a link that I think may have worked so here goes my attempt at showing yall the big one I found memorial day weekend.
This was found on a bluff over an old ox bow lake in the Red River valley, Bowie Co. N.E. Texas. The material is patinated woodford chert. It is six and three quarter inches long and three inches wide.

Wow. That would make my heart stop.

What type is that? Would it be an adena?

Very nice artifact Jonny, a bigun indeed! Great looking piece of material too.....heck of a find!

 

[Jonnyreb]

Thanks fellas. My heart dang near did stop after I tugged what I thought was just a peice of waste out of the ground. I really think it would prolly fall under the Gary type, but it is unusualy large for the type, and unusualy thin for the type too for that matter. Its probably only one eighth inch thick in the thickest part. Its the chipping on the edge reminds me of a lot of the Caddo blades that I've seen.

What a monster! And a finely crafted one at that!

Here I thought the only Red River Valley was along the North Dakota/Minnesota border....
