My first post. Thanks for your input.
Found in Eastern North Carolina.
Hoping it’s an arrowhead! Have never found one before!
Any ideas on medium/rock type, arrowhead type, time period?
Thank you.

Welcome to the forums. I don't know anything about arrowhead types or dating but I do know you have a very nice point there. I am sure some of the more knowledgeable people here will ID it for you.

Killer material and point, kind of resembles Tampa Bay Bottom chert, it's not but looks alot like it from what I can see.

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard CloudKicker! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile.

Welcome, nice find. Strange material looks like a conglomerate type of stone.

Great point! Since you’re from North Carolina, the lithic material may very well be a type of rhyolite. We find rhyolite commonly here in New England as well, and I have seen and found rhyolite with a conglomerate-like appearance. But, just a guess on my part.

 

[MAMucker]

That is a fine NA Projectile Point.
I agree with Charl on the conglomerate Rhyolite type. It may help if you wet it down to bring out the details in the material and post a couple more photos with some light coming in at angles to highlight any prominent flaking.

As far as type, there are some experts and experienced collectors on the forum from your region that can help you nail it down.

It’s a nice Lanceolate form.
