It resembles an early stage Carlsbad point that we have out west (they are usually found in a resharpened state and are relatively stubby in the later stages).  I'm sure there are one or two Great Basin points that are also similar to yours ... with the deep corner notches and broad blade (Elko and Eastgate types).  And the mahogany obsidian is also something you would find in the Great Basin.
Any critter tastes good with enough butter on it.

The chief said he is fresh out of flint, but he needs to unload a few wives.
