[Bagman13]

Hello TNetters!I decided to go out early this morning and think that I scored I thought it was a regular blade until I saw that beautiful notch as I cleaned it (and myself ). My best point, and best Christmas present to myself ever! It's a very nice material for my area! Merry Christmas everyone!

Hi Kuger.....

The metallic mark is from my three prong dirt raking garden tool.....I'm not sure what you exactly call them? I haven't tried to remove it yet, and am not sure that it's even worth trying. I don't know how hard I scraped across this point, but I'm really lucky it didn't break when I hit it......or cause any damage at all. It would have been horrible had I hit one of the ears!

Re: My Best Find Ever!

Great looking piece, congratulations.

And before someone goes there, it's not Carrizo either

Great answer Neanderthal. When I saw the first post I thought we would be treated to some humor and solid typology knowledge, I was not dissapointed.

 

[Mooch]

Great Piece and even greater personal find

 

[GroundS.KeepeR]

You dont see that type often !.. Congrats on making the banner

 

[Discrimination Dave]

Gorgeous, and I also dont think it is reworked. Way too balanced in thickness and flaking across the point. In Texas, we often group the calf creek, bell and andice. Andice being the largest with deep knotches.
I found an andice in central texas of almost the exact same material and knapping style. I swear it could have been made by the same dude (or culture). I will post a pick after work.
