NW South Carolina point

I found this in my yard and I think it's a Fountain Creek, though I'm no expert. Could someone confirm or deny this identification? I have dozens more and they are almost all quartzite. Does anyone have any tips for identification of artifacts made from quartzite? Or how to take a decent photo of them?

Could be some type of quartzite Sequoyah I’m not sure what state your in but it might make sense.

I'm in NW South Carolina. It does look like the picture you have.

Oh yeah, thank you! I think that's the closest match I've seen.

I kinda thought it looked like a Fountain Creek by the base and serrated edges

These are just estimates of the locations they have been informed as finding in the states. In my location I have to check NW Georgia, TN, Ala. and SC so it can be a tough job trying to get a good I.D. On my finds. Wasn’t any states back then and they did travel

That's true. The only limits were how far they were willing to travel.

They had games in the Woodland period that would bring people from all over for their contests.
