 No, they are not all fluted. There are also other points with ears that are not Clovis.

Actually I miss wrote, I meant to ask are all Folsoms fluted.

The point was found in southern New Mexico in the same area where a complete folsom was found.

I would say to be a Folsom it would have to be fluted. You get the ears from removing material to set up the nipple for the flutes. A un-fluted Folsom would not have ears.
 I am by no means a expert so please take my advice with a grain of salt ;)

An unfluted Folsom is called a Midland.  Many examples exist.
