Flecha,

I don't see what you're seeing cause that gunther barbed is AWESOME!!  I like the serrations dude, I think they make that point look wicked!  You did a damn good job, especially being made out of glass.  My hat's off to you my friend, that's some very fine chipping.

That looks great Flecha! I don't know how any of the originals survived to be found by us modern people. If they hunted with em and shot em once seems like the ears would have been broken off.
 Good one Jamie - don't look like your rusty to me but that mahogany has a rusty kinda look to it ;D.

They closely resemble a Tx Perdiz, which are fairly commonly found even with the ears intact.

I often wonder about how they survived as well.  I wonder if being made from jasper and agate enabled them to be "hardier" than glass and obsidian?  My glass and obsidian ones last about one shot... you get to make a lot of them that way!   ;D

This is a picture of some of the variety of points from the desert lake region of Southern Oregon.  Not the best picture but you can see how tiny some of them are.  There are some petrified camel's teeth that date back 10,000 years."  Watcher
