Looks like either a Marion or a Levy point (per Overstreet). Nice made point in great condition.

Good find.

Hillbilly,
That's a real nice little point! I'm not one to collect points from outside my area, but thats a point that I would buy for the material. Thanks for sharing bud.

Now that is different, we have a mineral in AR,
that forms like a little 'mushroom', & when broken,
looks like flower pedals.

Nice point.

Huh... That's cool! Very unusual. We have a lot of fossilized coral around here and I would have never thought of thinking a point would have been made out of the stuff. Thanks for sharing, Razor
