Nice one, Jonathan. I finally got one knocked out. It's made from the old indestructable rhyolite like most of the original ones in this area. It's about 3" long. Stone, wood, and antler percussion, mostly copper pressure. That inclusion of brown yuck in the middle was fun to flake through. Sharp as a brier, I wouldn't want it in me.

Dalton is one of my favorite point types-Midwest through Southeast, late-Paleo.

Dana, they range from a couple inches long to over a foot. Some are heavily serrated, some not. Some are lightly fluted, some aren't.Most classic Midwestern ones are made from Burlington, Pitkin, or other cherts. The Southeastern variants (Hardaway-Dalton, Greenbrier-Dalton, etc. ) were made from rhyolite, Coastal Plains Chert, even from quartzite. Here's some good examples from the Lithic Casting Labs site.

I don't have any of those types of rock but I'm willing to try with obsidian, alibates or the mighty thunderchert :)
This monthly challenge is turning into a educational experience :)
