Nice, I've found simular to that material type in N.Alabama; very small amount around Chattahoochee County Georgia.
 

I wish there was more information on materials so i wouldn’t have to work so hard to find an Id, if I can at all. It adds to the story if you know where a point came from, especially when they are far from home. Thanks for sharing getting a good idea of Georgia materials.
 

Here in central IL we have material from the main sources that are fairly easy to id but we also have material brought down with the glacier that confuses everything. A lot of different types overlap in their appearance for further confusion. A good book to get is “Prehistoric Chert Types of the Midwest” by Tony DeRegnaucourt.
 

The one on the right is a interesting tool. It’s unifaced type of blade.
2nd one from left I believe is a used up oldie dart point.
