Very nice. PFs?
Greenbriar projectile point search pulls up a Greenbriar-Dalton and Side Notched types that look quite different. Can you share a reference? Are these the Double-based Triangle type (Florida reference)?
 

That's a cool looking type. And those are nice Examples.
"The base may range from concaved to having two shallow notches which forms a basal nipple. The hafting region has heavy grinding." (Per your link)

Great looking Florida points!

I’ve only ever had one site that produced Early Archaic pieces on a frequent basis. And I knew it was not uncommon to find rare Southeastern styles at some of our regional Early Archaic sites. My best Hardaway came off the site in question, and a few Hardaway-Daltons as well.

But, imagine my surprise, and puzzlement, when these two points turned up there. Causing me to think “give me a break, they couldn’t be coming up here from Florida, no way!”. Despite the impossibility, these did turn up. After looking at the link for Florida Greenbriars, the so-called Nipple variant, I think, except for the lithics involved, water worn argillite, and quartzite, that these might actually pass as that type if found in Florida. Just a coincidence….

Sweet finds and examples! Is that hixton quartz in that last pic above me here?
 

Very nice artifacts. I noticed what I believe is a fluting nipple on the base is that correct?

If you mean my quartzite point, no, just a blond quartzite from RI….
