My dad found this in Fulton County, Illinois.
The flutes aren't very pronounced.
There is evidence of grinding.

I can't help with the point but I have seen that thing on the left somewhere before! If it comes to me I will let you know.

Definitely Paleo, but whether it's a Clovis or not I don't know. It has a Clovis look to it though, that's for sure.

I believe it's probably an Agate Basin. The concave base variant of agate basin is relatively common in cental Illinois. The angle at which the sides extend and the lack of fluting would probably be a pretty good indication. I have a similar one a friend of mine found in Eastern Iowa. Very nice piece of Avon Chert also.
