I found this a while back while skipping rocks and walking up the creek, I picked it up with a handful of rocks to skip. I realized what it was, kept it and love it. I was curious to see if anyone could tell me anything about it and maybe if it has any value. I found this at Outter Creek in Kentucky

It's made from some sort of hornstone, which is fairly common in KY. I have similar hornstone from Lyon Co. It looks like Adena style to me. Gary

Turkeytail with the tip of the base busted off imo.

Nice material!

I would classify it as a Terminal Archaic Stemmed type, or the precursor to the Adena types. These have several names depending on the region where found.
