Flounder The Finest Point I Ever Found

[Garscale]

I grubbed this point dubbed FLOUNDER many years ago . I could feel the edge sticking out of eroded hard pan clay under water. I gradually worked it out with my fingers. The more of it I could feel the more excited I got. I wasnt disappointed when I brought it up.

There has been much discussion as to type. It is crazy thin with diving flakes that actually make the center of the blade thinner than the edges. The stem is fluted and ground. If I found just the stem I might think it was a broken folsom.

TSU has studied the point and some believe it is a paleo point from Central America or South America. The material has little starburst in it very much resembling a material from Chili.

I dont know what it is but I love it.

Steve, I have a few points with the characteristics you mentioned. I always figured it was a type of algae that formed on them long before they were hidden between the layers of time and became solidified.

Yessir. I have points with that on them. This one has it fossilized in the stone the point was made from.

Relicgrubber you have been around Texas artifacts for many years. Are you familiar with any Texas chert that has those little fossil plant dots in it like that?

Are you referring to petrified Palmwood?

The material is petrified Palmwood that many Indians used for dart points. Your's look's like a very large Wilson point. I'm interested in buying it, so please respond if you'd like to consider that.

Man, I can't even imagine the animal that was designed to bring down.

Has anyone heard from Garscale? It shows that he hasn’t been on since September. I really enjoy seeing his finds.

Very nice knife, being a point hunter for decades I can image the thrill of pulling it up after being lost for thousands of years.

Not Palmwood, not even close to being Palmwood...

Also, I seriously doubt Steve would sell the Flounder, but you never know these days...
