Thank you for posting your PA Jasper points they look great. I occasional find Jasper that looks real close to what you posted here in NV. Once heat treated it works fine. Now I know what type of Jasper it is.

That is nice, who would have done such a thing as scribble on it. Probably didn't want anyone to say that they made it instead. :)

That SN is a knapper's mark, and a famous one at that. He is on the Puget Sound web site.

I think I have seen other threads talking about marking a modern point so it is cannot be mistaken for an old point. So I am thinking that might be what the SN is for. Probably the persons initials, but looks like it could stand for "Super Nice".

I dont think it could be Stan Norgaard, his flaking style looks different and his notches are of a much higher quality.

yep, Guilty as charged,notice the S and the N are connected and by Stans signature looks like he puts a number beside his initials.

Nice stuff Steve, Im taking it that guy that found all that rock has got into some usable pieces?  I'm sure that there is some amount somewhere that is big and killer..just may be buried deep or on land that wont be touched in our life time.  I guess in the end its better to have some beautiful stone hard to come by and or elusive so that it wont be depleted.  That is some amazing colors that do resemble some Flintridge.  As always you do your state rock justice in replicating the Susky and perkiomens well! 

Be well my friend!

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!
