Arrowhead / Point found is Eastern MI

[gtsatohms]

I found this arrowhead / point yesterday in Eastern Michigan. It looks different than any I’ve found in Michigan before. Any idea on type / dating? The stone looks to be some type of chert. Maybe traded, as it is white and not the usually dusty gray? I didn’t fully clean as there were some red spots that could be signs of use.

I think this might have had “wings” on the lower part?

If anyone has ideas, it would be great. A ruler is there for sizing too.

Thanks!

Corner notched point with the base snapped off.

Congrats!

It could be Bayport chert....It seemed to vary in color.

Thanks! Is this chert found in Michigan?

Do you think this point is very old?

Nice find, it’s a Kirk snapped base projectile point, I think.
