My fossil buddy gave me these from a fossil dig in Hillsborough Co. So many blades made of fossil coral. Some are translucent and still very sharp!
The broken bases are mostly Thonotosassa style which is early archaic and spot on for the dig site. Some of the blades appear to be made from heat treated material as well.

Very cool. looks like a couple nice knife blades in there....

What kind of fossils? And was this stuff at the same level?
 
Flake blades fall 2nd for me but my 1st love is the Paleo End Scrapers in the artifact world. Might be cause I dont find many of the end scrapers but find plenty of the flake blades. You will never hear me say I threw back a flake blade. Those look great thats a nice friend you have.

My question was do any of the bones have cut marks? He had not looked for that & I'll have to ask him about your ideas.
