Couple Tallahatta Quartzite points
« on: August 24, 2009, 09:21:18 pm »
Here are a couple of Tallahatta points I knocked out a while back-a small Newnan-ish point and a Pinellas (or however you spell it.) Wood and antler percussion, antler and copper pressure.

Man you do that quartzite justice Steve - them's some nice thin, symetrical points! I'll have to try some of that if the dust ever clears around here.

Thanks, Paul- This stuff ain't like our local quartzite. It chips good. Not like good flint, but a lot better than that super-hard metaquartzite we have around here. If you want to try some I'll try to dig you out a chunk or two if I've got any left.

Nice points.  Those are some really purdy points from some tough looking stone.

 Very nice Steve, cool looking Newnan. Pinellas points aren't that big. They are the same size as "bird points"up your way. That is closer to a Tallahassee.
