Spearhead ID Help

[Daugust32]

Hello, all. I’m new to the forum and was wondering if anyone could help me identify what I believe to be a spearhead (see pictures). I found it many years ago deep in a gulley in Cottondale, Tx (North Texas) on my Great Grandma’s land. I’d appreciate any and all info that you might have!

Looks like a nice knife. How big is it?

2 5/8 inches at its longest point
1 5/8 inches at its widest

Looks like an Edwards plateau flint either preform or knife.

Cant tell from the images of secondary pressure flake. I see large percussion flakes.

Hello, all. I’m new...

I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard Daugust32! Take a look at Forum: Texas for information (i.e., clubs, etc.) directly related to your state.

Good find, I would say it was meant to be a knife.

Very cool. It's very sharp, surprisingly. Would anyone have an estimated age for this? I'm doing my due diligence as well for research; but, don't necessarily know where to start since there's so much info out there.

Not much way to assign an age to something like that other than "old."
