Choo's post of his new frame had a nice bifurcate in it, so I thought I would post some I have found over the years.

All from Indiana

This is my best Fox Valley. Its 100% complete and very thin. A very nice white.

I like the little bifucates too.

This one is very thin also, and has a very nice profile.

This one has a nice cross section, its not very thin, but not thick. No flint steps makes it nice.

This one is typical in that its thin and has a nice shape. Its also more serrated than the others.

A nice material here.

This a small sampling of my bifurcates.

Post them. I dont care.
I only get on every few weeks for a few days at a time.
 

Thank you dognose. I really like bifurcated points as well, especially the little ones. I always wanted to find one, and my son and I each found one this year.

Kindest regards,
Kantuck
 

Bifurcates are early archaic and always well made. Those guys could knap. Usually very thin with few steps on the surface. The first whole point I found was a bifurcate. Gary
 

Here's a tray I put together of some of my best ones. Other than a few in the bottom row I bought as fillers they are all personally found. Several different types in there. LeCroy, Kanawha, Lake Erie, Stanley, McCorkle. All the personal finds are from along the Ohio River in Scioto and Lawrence counties in Ohio and Greenup and Lewis counties in Kentucky.

And then there are these Texas Bifurcate types. These are all Montells. Not personal finds. There is also a few other Bifurcate type found but I don't have pics of them. Predernales, or Perd, is one and a Gower is another I can think of.

In the West we have a bifurcate type known as Pinto. Here are 2 smaller sized but very toothy Pintos.These are Great Basin but they are found around the West.
