Triangle

[SouthTexasFinds]

Would love any opinions, I would assume a "early triangle" or something along those lines. Has a very skinny base then gets wider and is goes up. Thanks for looking.

AH Texas chert, my favorite rock to work on . Maker need to cook that up a bit and he may not have gotten all those hinges, LOL

Looks like an un-notched hunting point. You wrote a "very skinny base". Did you mean "thin" base. Looks like the maker tried to thin the base to make hafting easier.

ANYWAY: great find and nice looking point.

Where I'm from, we would call it a Madison point. It is an un-notched arrow point. Not sure what you meant by early triangle but around here it would be Mississipian era. Nice point though.

Thanks for the input, and yes I meant thin base, not skinny.

Thank you. I referred to it as an "early triangle" only because I had a similar point from the same county identified as so. Complete shot in the dark on my end!



Here's a list of some texas triangle points. I always find some similar, yet never close enough to say for sure

Here's a similar one my buddy dug out of his center console just now



Only differences I see is the base is not as thin, and it has the small notch at the bottom ( not sure if intentional or broken, will need a magnifying glass)

Nice point. Here the only ones I find are either Woodland or Mississippian but I do know they go earlier in other areas. Its a dandy for sure.

Nice point looks like a Tortugas JMOgreat find

I suck at estimating sizes from an image, even when a scale is used. It appears to be a Matamoros point. Tortugas are generally larger and most of them are beveled. Matamoros is to Tortugas as Catan is to Abasolo.
