Lets play a Game!
« on: May 03, 2015, 10:07:29 pm »
So here is the game, guess the material. For those of us who have already had the pleasure of ogling this point/material give everyone else a chance to guess what it is. First one to guess wins the point!.... Just kidding.  ;D

Of course it is a chert, but from where?  Could be almost from anywhere.  I found a source spot for chert a few years ago in New Mexico that had rock that looked like that.  Just last week a friend sent me a few pieces of rock from the same place that look like Flintridge.

Sleek wins!  ;D

Some good guesses so far, if I was playing Turbo my guess would of also have been flintridge. JEB you are correct it could be from anywhere, it wouldn't be much fun though if you didn't have a chance so while it is scarce it is not an unknown material.

First Clue: The material is correct for the point type.

I'm with Matt.
I can't really be sure if that's a Perkiomen or Savannah River?
Perkiomen would be PA jasper and the base would have the
corners docked at a 45degree angle.
 Savannah River would be quartzite.
Quartzite does not leave cool visible flake scars.

My first inclination was that it was a Susquehanna broad point, of course Ashtabula and Perkiomen are similar. If so, that would put this in the Northeast..

So, my second guess is Coschocton ;)
