Need help with point identification

[smokeythecat]

All these are from northeast Maryland. None larger than about 2.5".

The first one APPEARS to be made of bad grade of obsidian. There are volcanic outflows within a mile or so of where it was found, but these were ancient volcanos. Obsidian has been found here but not often. Semi transparent on some edges. We get more rhyolite and granites here. ID? The second is a black flint.

Grey point might be a Brewerton Corner notch. Maybe of Onondaga chert, which is sometimes found here. The one on the right the hard to find Newark Jasper, my first of that material, although I have been to the little park there in Newark, Delaware. Not sure what kind it is though. These mines have been worked since paleo times. Thanks.

I had no clue there was Obsidian that occured naturally in the east.

Western obsidian from Glass Buttes was transported as far east as Ohio to the Hopewell sites. Maybe some made its way farther east from there. Gary

We get Ohio flint here, so why not? It has been reported, but it's not the extremely glassy type like fresh obsidian is. It quite weathered.

Bullhead...very poor quality

Looks like an Oregon point type.

I would suggest that the black one on the top left is in the "Hellgrammite" type or timeframe, and the black on the right also a late Archaic type, probably the local "Lamoka" equivalent with that base configuration. The nice red tipped jasper point on the bottom right looks to be our local "Meadowood" type. I haven't heard of obsidian being found in our area, so I would guess they are some of the local black cherts or flint?
