Hey yaā€™ll, Iā€˜m no stranger to posting questionable things and I know the probability of finding a glass artifact is low, but I wonder if this could be something? I found it while digging a target about 11 inches down. The items I found with it are pretty toasted and non-diagnostic. Previously I have found both native and settler artifacts in the general area, but nothing smoking gun-wise indicating a contact period presence other than a scraper(which could have been knapped anyone). Signs pointing it could be real is its shape and heavy patina/mineralization. Signs against it include the fact that it is clear glass, and besides windows/other expensive glass, clear glass would have been rare. In addition to this, I canā€™t see signs of knapping( though it could be obscured by patina.) I have included pictures of it along including comparison to usual glass shards I find. Any thoughts would be appreciated, could it be a glass point/artifact? Who knows.

I'm not sure, I'll be the only one to say it looks like a Sharks tooth (?) but that flat back says no.
 

Sorry, I'm not seeing a point out of glass.
 

yeah, the pitting and flat reverse say "no"
