Possible complete dalton, new family photo of last 3 weeks finds

[BJS in Iowa]

Just returned to work from three weeks off. We finally got a significant rain that washed out the creeks and churned things up. "Family photo" is order in which I found them. Two each day on three days and the last on Easter Sunday. I went several more than four times though. The last had been run over by my Dad on a tractor a few times. I found it when I bent down to pick up my jacket that the wind had blown off the four wheeler. Probably stepped on it getting off the four wheeler too. 22 long rifle for size reference.

Please post opinions on the whether this is a dalton or not. It was hard to photograph and capture any contrast because it is so white. On a couple of the pics you can make out the thinning flake and flute.

Also, opinions on the others would be appreciated as well. My best shot at ID are: dalton, hardin, godar, drill, not sure, adena and no idea.

I have more photos of all but didn't have time to resize and fix them up for posting. I can later if anyone would like to see better/other shots.

I'm not sure where you found this point, but I gave its twin. I always call transitional points like yours Hardaway/dalton. Although that may not be a home run, it's an on base hit. Check mine out

Nice material. Some of the best hard stone axes I have ever seen came from your fine state. Great area and your points prove it. That is some nice pieces for the last 3 weeks. It looks like a Dalton to me.

Thanks for you opinion, TNMtns. I think it is a Dalton but I have a lot to learn on IDing. I posted to get some validation to my feeling. Hope to get others.

Not all Daltons look like that. Check out the Sloan Dalton or the Classic Dalton at this link (#3 and #8). Meador Artifact Company - Paleo Artifacts for Sale
Also here: Meador Artifact Company - Archaic Artifacts for Sale (#6 and #8).

The sloan is found in Iowa, Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas from what I've found. Generally, a midwestern variant.
