Okay, that IS odd... had you not said anything and just posted it I would have still thought it to be authentic though... fakes look fake, this just looks odd... I've only seen a few finished pieces where they were like that- I guess the guy who made it was just a practical fellow- not need to get fancy I suppose. What's the material, some type of quartzite? I can picture that being hafted to an antler and making a pretty nice knife... interesting. I know what side I would have up in the display case
That second one... looks like pretty glassy/high quality material in terms of knapping- it's not a vien of that material that you sometimes see in noviculite is it? If I had to guess I would say some type of heat treated noviculite.. I dunno? Nice point no matter what.
No Evens is Wisconsin.. never found one and have never seen one in anybodys collection (from up here).
That last one is cool.. the tip ... wow... how in the heck right? The third arrowhead I ever found in my whole life was kind of like that- it was found in a woods that had been tilled up for the first time. Laying right on top after a rain was medium triangular point G10 I tell you... the finest serrations that I have ever seen (other than on some obsidian points) and the tip... to a needle literally. I was so proud... I took it to school.. (you know where this is going already don't you?) the first teacher who looked at it (older female with cr@p for brains I think) says "WOW, look at those little serrations (and then runs her fingernail down the side breaking four or five)..... I wanted to throw up. Then on the bus on the way home my friend begs me and begs me to see it. I stress to him over and over how careful he needs to be and not to run his fingernail down it... Okay okay he says. He held it between his index finger and thumb and admired it but when he went to hand it back the needle tip I mentioned above broke off in his finger!!!! I still have that point to this day... it's still shows some of the serrations but you can't even imagine what it looked like when I first picked it up... BE CAREFUL WITH THAT ONE YOU HAVE!!! Here's a pic of what's left of mine...

Is the stem ground on that top piece? Outstanding! Also, do you have a pic that shows the flaking better? May be the photograph, but looks Cody.

That form sure does look Scottsbluff. Although not typical, I have seen many cultures try to save time and make knives from a large spall. You can't blame them, it just saved them alot of time in the thinning process. They were after function over form. I have a few examples of old paleo forms that are made from a large spall, not bifacially flaked to the center on both sides. I enjoy them and they sure make for good conversation.
