Found a strange shaped point part.....idea's ? And question.......

...I found this and it sure looks like part of a arrowhead...but never found one this shape before. What do you all think? While I'm at it I have a question.....I hear/read you guys talking about what the points are called, what kinds they are.....are the obsidian we find called anything other than just "Obsidian"? This is probably a stupid question...but "learning"...lol

....thanks

You bet it's part of a point. If it's small could be an Eastgate,bigger could be a funky elko.There are lots of different colors and types of obs with many different names.

Looks like the base of a point with one ear remaining.

Typology Kat. Everything is usually something if it has a base or notches. Sometimes it is just hard to reconstruct after hundreds or thousands of years. Your "obsidian" is a highly sought after material for types. You have good stuff.
