What do you make of this?

Found a couple of points today, sadly the quartz one is broken. I also found this curious rock. The marks are on both sides. Any ideas on it?

The point on the right could be very interesting. Where are these points from?

I like the material on that triangle, good looking piece.

From a plowed field? Does not look like plow marks though. Nice points what is the one on the right??

Found it on a beach. There are farm fields nearby, but I didn't think they looked like plow marks either. Not sure about the point I found. I'm not very good at identifying -- I'm still a newbie.

Not sure myself. I did get a PM from a member who thought it was Madison or Holcomb triangle. I looked them both up and it does resemble the Holcomb more than the Madison. Would love to get a concensus. Here are some additional pics. It's about 1.25" from top center to point.

i have a lot of sandstone rocks that look like your rock
the marks are from s disc rather than a plow........at least in my field but they sure look similar

I think the sandstone piece is an abrader.... for sharpening bone and antler implements.

That point doesn't look like any madison that I have.
The sandstone is an abrader for sharpening stuff.
Love the material on the triangle.
How big is it?
