I beat it too hard and at the wrong angle......you learn to correct that in some "hobbies" a little quicker than others I suppose.

Justin the corner notch an the long thin one are the same material. I got it from Jesse at the classic an he called it a black dover, kinda a crossbreeed between buffalo river an dover. I have had some good success with it. Darker stuff seems a little bit better than tanner stuff. Later Bob

Dude, that's just the way I do it.  I pick up flakes and make points out of them.  My friend dave gave me a bunch of flakes and I made an ugly little side notched point out of one that was novaculite.  It was ugly...but it was sharp.  A few months later I mounted it on an arrow and killed a BIG doe with it.
