Recent Fox Creek Finds

Hi guys,

Here is a couple points I found in 2020, nice surface spot. I was told most likely fox creek. I was also told the other large stemmed point is an Atlantic.

very nice points. Were they found in the same area?

What is the profile? Are the points thick or thin?

 

[Edgychris1]

They were found within 2 miles of one another similar circumstances. Same ground level weeks apart.

Nice!
Every once in a while I pick up a point that fits all of the diagnostics of a type and the ID is a no-brainer.
But, I’ve gotten caught up with examples with small variations at odds with the ‘type template’ so to speak. And then gone back and forth (maybe overboard) with typology in some of those cases.
So, this is just my opinion on your posted points.
#1: Fox Creek seems right
#2: My 1st impression was Eastern Agate Basin. (see above) The lower 3rd tapering looks good, but the base does not fit well. Perhaps the base is damaged. If not, I like the type ‘GREENE’ for this one. Definitely not an Atlantic.
#3: Could be a Fox Creek variant. But, that stem (short as compared to type examples) is odd, and those shoulders are quite pronounced (as compared to examples). I have a similar large point with somewhat pronounced shoulders that I put in the Fox Creek Stemmed family. I’ll post it here:


I also have a short stemmed point (similar, though broken) that I’ve not identified. Could be Fox Creek. I’ll also post for comparison here:

Fox Creek, Green, Genesee IMO

Thanks for the input everyone.

Yes, Mamucker, the base is missing a chunk that would have made it a bit more symmetrical.

Anyway,
Thanks again.
