Help with identifying?

[-=METAL=-]

Hello again all,


I just found this little bird point and I'm having trouble identifying it with my Overstreet book. I was hoping someone could help. The point is from the north east. Nice little point, it almost fell through my screen...

Sure someone's not play'n with you? Looks like it's just a modern "replica" point. They sell them at gift shops and such for a buck or so a bag.

Now that you mention it, it does look totally fake. I think I know someone who may have planted as he has done that to me before. Thank you, and nevermind.

The right hand side of this piece looks like it still has the outer "rind" from the stone it was knapped from. I have never seen a gift shop piece that had natural flaws or signs of limited lithic. I don't know how clear my point is. Lol! I think I'd look at it closer before calling it a fake. I'm not sure.

Some more photos would help a lot, but it does look like India red jasper and there is not much flaking on the edge.

Here are some more photos. It kind of has an odd chunkiness to it at the tip. Doesn't look like it would fly straight...

Kinda strange but if it was a fake one most dont have the cortex still on it. I have found some that the shape is there and then just the edges are chipped Ill see if I can find a pic for ya. Its probably a knife and not a point.

The images don't help me too much but I am I'm seeing a fire popped artifact? One side looks artifactish, the other side....repro.
