Calf Creek Heartbreaker

[naturegirl]

This heartbreaker was found by my co-worker, cletus. She found it on a site that must have been a campsite. She says there is a fire ring, but the place is underwater much of the time. It's interesting to note that it's a creek find, and not even a direct tributary to the the ark. river. The fossil is really nice too! Even though it's broken, it's a treat to get to handle it.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! I didn't even find it and it's breaking my heart. That would have been a beauty. Still very cool though.

That's still an awesome find even though its broken, NG.
Think of how hard it must have been to make those deep notches!

Tell Cletus 'congrats'!!

 

[naturegirl]

yeah, she was excited. Monday morning she was hollerin' for me as soon as she hit the door. but she forgot to bring it with her, so buckshot and I had to wait till this morning to see what she had. the sketch she drew made us think 'half creek'

thanks for the replies, and HH!

Hey NG, I was gonna call it an Andice, but then I looked it up and it shows more of the calf creek signature.....so I guess first impressions aren't always right.....goat

 

[naturegirl]

I know oldgoat. buckshot was saying andice too. the thing that swayed me, and I know extremely little, was the roughness around the base and tang. I have an andice, and it seems to me to be more worked in that area. well, and neanderthal said andice would have "stitching" in that area, so I think i see a difference anyway, we told her it was a rare find, and not to put it back in the can with the flakes.

Hey ng,
When i actually got to see and hold it, i was excited for "cletus".
Very cool "Heartbreaker" find... But, she did let me borrow it...

The skill in those are amazing. I would have to guess many were broke during the making. Still a nice artifact to find

Thanks buckshot for bringing it to the shop for show and tell! It is even more impressive in person! Tell cletus, she did good!
