New Paleo? Point

[SonOfBeanman]

I found this at the river on saturday. I accidentally kicked it and flipped it over it was covered in sediment after the river just came down. I was freaking out! It is three and a half inches long and has a half inch flute on one side. It looks very clovis like to me. What do you think?

Nice one, looks more like basal thinning to me. New guys and "Clovis" points seems to be a recurring theme round here. Did you find anything else, you should play the lottery dude.

Nice find. What state did you find it in ? Not sure on the material

Way to go.Congrats on a great find! Where's beanman

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I have not been online much. I found this in Des Moines, Iowa. I think it is an Angostura point.
Does anyone else have opinions? Thankyou, Happy hunting!

Its a beauty. Definetly Paleo but have to know where you found it to determine what type...which state?

The only reason I even signed up for Treasurenet was because my daughter found a Morgan dollar. I had no idea how hard it is or how rare it is to find such a thing. Some folks find something, have no idea so they look it up on the Internet and find this site. So they sign up and post about it. After reading about Morgan dollars and posting about the coins I find, I located this board on Indian things and decided this was my place!

That point looks like something special, post some more of your collection!

That is one really nice point.

It's kind of hard to tell from the pic but it could be a clovis. Can you post a few pics at different angles that show the flaking especially the basal area. Try to silhouette the knapping against a back light possibly next to a window or something. It will show the flaking much better and we may be able to get a better idea of the type.

The material may be Tongue River Silicified Sediment. It's a material that comes out of the Dakotas but is found in Iowa. I owned a Folsom made from that material that was found on the Raccoon River in Dallas County.

Yes sonofbeanman keep sharing it so we can learn. Know you are busy but looks to be a very desirable interesting find.
Thanks

That is a very nice find.

We have a material in my area called Harrodsburg chert which looks somewhat like the material.
