The same Gentleman found this point on his farm. I don't recall ever seeing one like this and would love more info if anyone knows anything about this style point. It is about an inch and a half long and was made this way and not a broken point

Could possibly be an early triangular. Dave AKA Madison. The shape fits, but all the info I find says those are 3/4 of an inch or smaller and have random flaking. This one is 1 1/2 and very well formed, at least on the clean side. The dirty side isn't as well formed. It was definitely made in this shape and isn't a broken point. Another interesting point was found on his farm, so different cultures were there likely at different times. This point is about 3 1/2 inches and is a Flint that I'm not familiar with

The triangles are usually recent. Easy one, Mississippi Culture. Common at Etowah(Ohio culture)Indian mounds. Mound culture.

Yup, in Texas type collections those types are known as "early triangular". Had those in California at Clear Lake and Pope Valley but the stone used was obsidian.....Mel
