Thanks for the input guys. No doubt that it is a Gahagan biface knife. I guess I'll have to attempt one now. Rick B

But of course, you need to attempt one.   :)  After all, you have a killer example to go by!

What do you all think about Vosburg as a potential POM?

Wonderful! Bob
I think my romance with the point is that it is somewhat transitional ina big way.
A directional step  from deep corner notching to stemmed points.
The difference is the points are THIN like alot of Broadspears to follow.
But the respect of the soon to be forgotten notches and concaved basses seems to be paramount.
Looking forward to some awesome eye candy.

I especially like the long, wide thinning flake scars, Sort of a vestige of the Paleo era.
Nice looking spear points fellows
