Sure does look it from here. Is it beveled?

Cobbs Triangular... We find them here on the Louisiana Side of the Sabine River/Toledo Bend (WLa)

I'd call it a Cobbs as well.

Sure looks good as a cobbs to me, don’t have any cobbs to share though

Good find!

Nice Cobbs you found. Very nice. It looks like it has nice bevel to the hafting area.

This Cobbs is 4 7/8 inches made of Flintridge.

This cobb was found in Decatur County Indiana on the Deiwert farm back around the turn of the century.

The Deiwert family and my family migrated to Indiana from Ohio after the revolutionary war with a number of other families.

I have to get a better picture later. Looks broken on the base but it’s actually a thinning flake probably from removing the stack. Has some bevel from sharpening but nothing I would consider a steep bevel.

That’s a beauty. Idk the material type on my find something different from usual.

I thought it might be some kind of Adena Blade is why I asked. Sun isn’t out so this is the best I can do.

I have seen unique flaking on cobbs blades before, I don't think the shaping or removal of stacks is leaving a unusual or distinct shape is uncommon.

In 2020 I found a number of cobbs. Here is one that immediately stood out as one similar to yours. At first glance when I picked it up, I thought "nice blade, a bit broke on the hafting area."

But in reality, the blade had been purposely knapped and formed into this shape, almost like the knapper "clipped" the hafting area.

If one considers a "clipped" wing projectile point, its not too far off to see this also has those characteristics.

The cobbs in profile the area to the left and upper left look unusual, and you can see the beveling, sort of, on the upper right.

Holding it differently you can see the hafting area has been flattened with flaking strikes which are not common, but intentional on the relic. Again you can see the beveling somewhat on the blade portion.

Here it is as found in the field.

And then picked up.

That 1st one looks a lot like mine. Chert cobbles just aren’t big in my area so the points and tools are smaller. Thanks Todd
