Out of my realm of experience but it is a beauty. Looks a little like a copena or an eden but am sure these guys will know. Nice one.

Wow, that is a super fine point! Congratulations.

Man, it looks great laying in the mud. Had to be a blast picking that one out. Fine point!

I feel like I’m starting to throw this type out a lot, but munkers creek?

 

[Relicgrubber]

That's a nice one. Better picture highlighting the flaking would be needed. Like Tnmountian said, it does have that Eden look to it tho.

Congrats on a nice save cfj90!

It is a beauty. That lithic is really nice. I doesn’t look like an Eden to me. There will be more opinions soon.

 

[Relicgrubber]

I can see it has a high median ridge but that's about it. I have seen lances classified as Eden's and I would have never guessed it was Eden due to its form, but the flaking was a dead giveaway...

That is very nice find. It does look like a copena.

Great find Jim. That point is definitely not a Copena and almost certainly not an Eden. Most likely it's a Nebo Hill, an early archaic type, which it fit stylistically and distribution. Again, great find, congrats my friend.

Only in my wildest dreams! Beautiful point.

Definitely a year maker, even a decade maker.

Considering the find location I tend to agree with Twitch. Some of the Nebo Hill/Sedalia pieces sometimes will exhibit the slight constriction at the base.

 

[dognose]

While I said it does look like a copena, I dont think it is a copena.


Not do I think its a Nebo Hill/Sedalia variant.


I think you may have identified it correctly as a munkers creek, or a lehigh variant

Amazing piece! I just moved from O'fallon to Warrenton.
