Finally! Found A Clovis.

[old digger]

Well, I finally found a clovis! The material is red jasper, but there is a small nick near the point.






Hope you like it, I love it.

Can you guess how the point got there? Man or wounded animal?

i wonder about that also

were you at or near an area where other flakes or worked pieces were laying?

"The woolly mammoth coexisted with early humans, who used its bones and tusks for making art, tools, and dwellings, and the species was also hunted for food.[SUP][1][/SUP] It disappeared from its mainland range at the end of the Pleistocene 10,000 years ago, most likely through a combination of climate change, consequent disappearance of its habitat, and hunting by humans."

So the odds of this being the point that killed the last woolly mammoth are about as great as finding such a fine piece. We can dream anyway. This sounds like the beginning of a James Michener novel. What a beautiful piece.

The most likely mammals that would have been Bison and Camel, as their bones have been unearthed in the area.

...and can you imagine going after one of those fellers with (let's face it) little more than a pointed stick?

lol! Get a good throw at the heart-lung area, jump on the old wooden bike and try to get to safer distance. lol!

Congrats on a banner find. The small bite on the tip looks clean to me. Could it be where a fossil fell out of the stone? What do you make of this small spot Digger? Damage or a natural flaw in the stone?

to me that chip makes it look REAL.

I don't know if anybody has asked already but what's the length on it?

 

[rock]

Most likely the animals were seeking water and were therefore hunted in the same area. Or it may have been a camp site, and was lost there. I'll need to go back and see if it is possible to find any chips or other artifacts.

I wonder how deep that critter dug his hole? Might want to check the dirt level where it dug maybe measure the depth of the pile to get an idea as to how deep that point was. You might not find any chips or signs cause they might be a foot or two under where you will be standing. Dont know if you can dig or not in that area but that would be worth it to find another one. Maybe have somebody help you. Id offer but im to far away, hehe

After zooming in on this first photo it looks like there may have been a flaw in the stone which caused it to chip out. You can see some type of dark colored imperfection in the chipped out section.

Absolutely beautiful!!! Great find my friend!! I knew it was banner worthy!!!

 

[River Rat]

Absolutely stunning...CONGRATS!

Probably a small quartz inclusion in the stone jasper does have them once in a while just like flint around here. But that's nothing it is still a beauty ding or not. I don't believe I have ever seen one made from that material let alone the color. Its a amazing find IMO

I agree Larson! A flaw in the stone = flawless tool. That is my opinion. I'm sure books contradict my opinion.
