I dont mind at all. If you don't mind me asking how did you do that. As you can tell I'm lacking a little in the attachment area.

That Gainey/Clovis piece is great, looks like Hornstone to me but looks like Cobden.

We find quite a bit of paleo in the three counties I hunt. Mostly woodland and mississippian. However I have found several archaic and transitional points.

I'm not real good at identifying the stone types. I've been told it is indiana hornstone which is not found around my area. I was told it could have been a trade item and then used to make the point.

Great finds...

Jim,

I wanted to say it looks like Hornstone WHICH ALSO looks like Cobden. Hornstone is found throughout Indiana/Kentucky, and it wouldn't be unexpected to find a paleo relic made from it in your area. If it's Cobden that would be a nice plus, as it's a very collectable material.

Again, great relics.

Some (not all) Hopkinsville chert, when it isn't patinated, is known colloquially as "Kentucky Hornstone."

If you go by texture, gloss &c. the description fits.

[/quote Do you know of any books or websites that I could read to help me identify the different chert types? I really struggle with all the different types. We have some cool materials in my area and I'm always asked what type of stone they are made from.

Great finds and welcome to the site.
