Very thin Midland blade

[chong2]

Hey guys, long time no see !

Thought I would share this little blade with you all.
I laid it side by side on another Midland, you can see the flaking is identical all the way down to the touch up micro flaking. The blade has very light grinding and has been re sharpened many times to get its form. The side shot id of the blade with a nickel for thickness comparison.
I will show some more a little later of the grey Midland , it has a twist to it for those of you who have not seen the other side yet, I think a few of you will like it.

Chong, as usual, you drag the real deal to the table. I hope you do not mind answering a question for me. I have a couple of paleo points and I'm yet to put a positive ID on their lithic. Do you mind telling me what you think they are made of?



















Also, while you are here, can you tell me if this piece looks paleo to you?







The first two were found in VA. along the Dan river. The green rhyolite piece was found in NC. Along the Hyco creek, which, if I'm not mistaken, feeds into the Dan River. Sorry if I stomped on your post. I mean no disrespect. It's just so rare to see you post and you are the Paleo man. Thanks for any insight and thanks for sharing your remarkable finds!!

Talk about a late response, sorry about that. NC, im sorry , I really do not know lithic material names, except for a few from my local area. Wish I could help you id some. That nice grey one that fluted on one side, how long and how wide is that?

That bottom piece looks like it may be an un fluted preform NC.

What beautiful examples. There are a bunch of people around here that have never seen your stuff. When you get a chance, maybe you could post a couple. In the mean time, thank you for the treat. Just beautiful. Yakker
