WHEN IN DOUBT, ASK AN EXPERT

Very rarely do I take a single point to the flint shows for ID but I'm glad I did this time.
If that last point I found at Chrisners was 5 inches long, I would have just called it a "base tang "well
my little black one is too small for that.
Dwain R had no hesitation identifying it, especially as he is a Chrisners specialist.

It's a FLYING ENSOR....very, very rare.

Long as I was bothering Dwain, I just found a second stubby stemmed point, not in the books.
Dwain says He's seen them before just like that, believes they are a Perd type ( un named )

Re: WHEN IN DOUBT, ASK AN EXPERT

Did he say Flying Enor, or Flying Winged Ensor? It's

sure a nice point, and thanks for showing it to me at

the show as well!

Re: WHEN IN DOUBT, ASK AN EXPERT

I am glad you broght up those stubby Pedernales like points. Lately I have found a number of them in western Coryell County in a mid archaic layer in conjunction with Pedernales points. That was my assumption, but in thirty plus years of digging I had not run into them until this specific campsite.

Details, details, details. . . What the hell. . .if it's got wings it can fly !

Good call Mike, I went back to the ratty piece of paper where I wrote Dwain's exact words. WINGED ENSOR it is.

M, good for you to chime in -- keep those stubby Perds safely seperated from the herd. When they get
around to recognising the type, He who has the most might have the honor of getting it named after himself.

The " MATTY PERD " has a nice ring to it !
