Any idea on post #25?

[Reelthreat]

I would like to see closeups of the circled points if possible. Focused, with flaking visible if possible on both sides.

Garguy, those are typical Deep South Texas points. I bet they are from webb county or neiboring counties. The angled teardrop shape is a desmuke and the triangles are either matamoros or tortuga depending on size, both can have concave and thinned bases. I literally have thousands of them from Webb.

Looks to be a darl.

[GarGuy]

Thanks Reelthreat. Classic or not, there is a wide variety in that frame and some of them are old. I would like a closer look. I see Tortugas in there. Look close and you might also see a Folsom.

hard to tell with the stick and lashing. Its something middle Archaic.... Edit darl would fit.

Okay guys take a look at these two. I found these as a kid along the same creek about 100 yards apart. The one on the left is the first arrowhead I ever found. I've been staring at the ground ever since. I've never really known what they may be. These were found in Upshur county in east TX.

Kickerpoint, Those are probably Yarborough. They both have a little bit of a Wilson look but I cant see grinding.

Thank you sir. I felt like they were the same type or similar time period.

Great stuff snapper.

[GarGuy]

Great stuff Reel. A couple of those birdies might be Perdiz too. Also after looking at the close ups I concede the Typical south Texas stuff. I sure was wanting to see a clear flute and microflaking on that small one with the broke ear. Looks like there is a nice Early triangular in there though.

Thanks, I have been following your thread and it is absolutely amazing. It has gave me some good ideas on how to excavate my property (where the trans paleo stuff came from).

You never know what someone might stumble upon... A guy at work found this barber (at least I think it is) and they are one of the rarest points in Texas. He only has about 20-30 points total. It is ground down both side about an inch.
