Title: Found point and Rock ID
Post by: Stoner on December 11, 2017, 06:37:48 pm

Found this point here in Oklahoma. Would like to know what type of stone this is? So I can find some local rock to knapp.

Where you at in Oklahoma? Not sure what that is but Eastern Oklahoma is full of flint rock, or at least what everyone here calls flint anyway. I know it can make points and knives though.

That is basicly a resharpened, wore out point.I don't know enough about points in Ok., but most points are identified from the stem. The rock looks like a grade of Georgetown.

Afraid I can't help you stoner, but it sure looks slick. Seems like it be some real nice material to work.

Not sure if your point is Kay County (Florence chert ) or not but you have Kay County in Oklahoma.

As Eddie said,it is a great example of re-work.  :)
 And I might add,it was reworked while still on
the shaft imo. Nice find 8)
