Projectile Point - One of my best finds, but is it really 10,000 years old?

[Old Pueblo]

Hello, I found this nice projectile point near an old earthen water tank on my grandparents property in Southeastern Arizona, years ago. According to this Arizona projectile point identification guide found here Meserve Projectile Point, this is a "Meserve" type point dating back to 9,500 to 8,000 BC! Are there any projectile point experts here on T-net than can confirm this for me?

I love arrowheads, I just wish I knew more about them and how to attribute them. I've found a few here in SW Oklahoma including a huge spear point. All I know for sure about yours is that's it's awesome

Outstanding!! Yes it could be that old. Post it over on the North American forum. They would like to see it.

Alrighty, its moved. Or rather, Ive created a new thread in the NA Indian Artifacts forum.

The base is the right style to be that old

It's a beautiful point.

Doesn't look clovis or filsom, the haft notch isn't prominent.

Thanks guys for all of the feedback. Im still not 100% on what it is, but since most people are saying Triangle, I have to agree. Still my best point, either way.

If you want a solid ID (no pun intended) send pics to Museum of Native American History at [email protected]
Then report back. It's a beautiful piece.
