found this today on ohio river in cincinati, looks to be rootbeer flint, (staged if is) but could be river stained transparent chalodony(i hope) that is my question, its clovis style not ground and there is hinge fractures. but hope it wasnt staged to keep me out of a spot, lol. looks like possibly creek stained chalodont compared top my buddies hafted. but looks like rootbeer too,

Awesome find, Trev!

I'm my opinion, that's Boyle's chert, but I'm no expert!

When you say staged, what exactly do you mean? Whatever it is, it's gorgeous. WOW

like someone seen my foot prints in there good spot so they are throwing me off guard with replicas
.

 

[Felinepeachy]

Oh! Does it look like a replica to you?

 

[trevmma]

just cant get over finding a high flint grade paleo area point today i guess
,lol

It doesn't look like root beer flint to me. I just looked at a bazillion pics of it and I can't find anything like yours.

i promise on everything that i had my hand on my phone but thought it was just a broken tip on closer inspection, it looked very good in the ground, found a broken drill. i have found many nice pieces on the river there. who is the guy from cincinati i would like for him too look at it,

I would send a pic to Tom Davis. He is very nice. http://www.tomdavisartifacts.com/products.php?cid=MjQ=

Thats a nice piece TREV... Theres too many idiots out there that do stupid crap like that! They ruin it for everyone! I hope that piece turns out to be locally genuine!

 

[trevmma]

Looking thru my brokes i have found some that match that flint. I hope its good if not never hunting river again, if is who is going sat, lol. Thanks

Trev, that looks like Boyle Chert to me, not the Root Beer Flint you are talking about from Texas. Boyle Chert is found in southern Ohio all the time and I have many pieces made from it. Your point looks good to me.

if it proves to be staged and you stop going there they have got what they wanted i would go more often maybe take some good friends track it up good. maybe just after ever rain for a while.. just mark the artifacts so you will know they came from there, mainly the exter nice ones like this one. Trev!! keep going till you get the word on this point shame to let this miss out on some more of those type points if real. Terry
