  I'm still playing with all my new found powers.The arrows in a group were made for a display at a Show of Seminole points from the Wars in 1840.Stone wasn't available for knapping in South Florida so what was available was used.They were for killing people.Small points to save stone,Stingray scutes, and Mako shark tooth.The point that is long in the group is Alligator bone with Coral bleeder blades you can't see in the picture.

   Bob,,No, Claude made these to show what the Seminoles were up against as far as material for killing soldiers in South Florida.As you know there is no knappable rock down there.
