Interesting point! Let us know if you find out more information on it!
 
I second Up North's call of Table Rock. Being from Missouri, I see a lot of these late archaic blades. The well rounded shoulders, slightly expanding stem, and size, strongly suggest Table Rock. Most specimens exhibit a slightly convex base, but I have seen some that were straight as this one appears to be. Curious, was this a field find or associated with a possible camp site?

Found in a feeder creek. I have only hunted it a couple times, but it's produced a couple nice pieces. I also found this blade. 20201121_085544.webp
 
Congrats from St Louis! Pretty sure that isn’t a bottleneck or table rock. It’s likely a Kramer. Very nice find.
 
Very cool piece, and seems 2b in great shape..
I spend most of my morning going from one picture of a point to another reading descriptions and bouncing back to original op`s picture and back to anothers persons possible id. Its great.
