Hello! I am working on identifying several pieces that I have found over the past two months and could use a sounding board. I believe these two are Cobbs Triangular. What do you think? ImageUploadedByTapatalk1373981244.090835.webp

I just saw this. I only have one cobbs. It is shaped like that with large reduction flakes and then secondary edge work.
 

Bob they may also just be a large knife or preform from any era. I tried to shoot a pic of mine but the batteries are dead ! I had mine I.D'd here years ago.
 

I hadnt replied B/C I wasnt sure on them. Nice finds though.
 

I don't believe either are Cobbs. A Cobbs is a Knife form that is normally beveled from resharpening.

This is a Cobbs. Your pieces are Preforms or crude Knives.

I agree with Reaper, not a Cobbs. Here is one I have found in Central Illinois.[

Nice knife! Looks cobs to ft. ancient. The bevel tells on it. Cool find either way.
 

Thanks for the input everyone!
