Some I.D. help with this point

[Virginiaguy]

Hoping to get some help with an I.D. on this one. Never found one before with this kind of base and the Virginia point websites seem to indicate Paleo. Not certain about that so any help would be appreciated.

seems kinda small for that

It is a little small for a normal paleo point, however, I have one that's been paleo authenticated as a clovis by some guys who really know their stuff, and I would say a highly resharpened paleo, assuming is has basal grinding.

I think it is more along the lines of a Badin point. The basal thinning is common on Badin and the size is right. I think on most of them they just took a snapped tip and punched flakes up into the base to create a hafting area.
