Today in SE Tennessee; I've not seen many dark colored points around here. What type is it please?

Sweet find looks like some material I find. Not sure on the type but I know Benton’s are popular in TN.
Can you check the base to see if it feels sharp or smooth? That will help me a lot

Hopewell more than the other one, I suppose. Thanks.

Very nice point.

Ft Payne chert is common in that area. Usually but not always a dark color. Black, brown or grey are the most common types.

There are more types of the Brewerton it could be. It’s says some are ground but I don’t think all are

You should wash the point and post it again. The dirty side looks really good

That’s a good looking point
