Need help to ID new Find!!!!!!!!

It is right at 4" long, and 1 1/4" wide. It has a serrated edge and fluting on both sides. It was found in central Texas. Thanks for any help!

Re: Need help to ID new Find!!!!!!!!

My guess ( and Charlie Overstreets' ) is. . . . . DARL BLADE

Beautiful

Re: Need help to ID new Find!!!!!!!!

Darl Blade is a good estimate due to the serrated edges, but the blade dose not have typical darl flaking, or secondary side thinning. The style observed better fits that of Pandora. A good find!

Re: Need help to ID new Find!!!!!!!!

So be it, Pandora ( but Charlies a bit sceptical )

Re: Need help to ID new Find!!!!!!!!

I have found a lot of Darl points here in the past.

Re: Need help to ID new Find!!!!!!!!

Calvin, it could very well be a darl blade with only a random flaking style,....it happens! The only other possibility would be Pandora.I've seen flaking styles differ on a number of Texas points. You can always take it to a show sometime and get Dwain's opinion too.
SH, Charlie still has alot of catch-up work to do on Texas point types, let alone variant flaking styles. This has been the general concensus with dealers now for a while.

Re: Need help to ID new Find!!!!!!!!

What point types do you find with Pandora blades?

Re: Need help to ID new Find!!!!!!!!

Primarily Late Archaic points & blades, such as Marcos,Marshall,Castroville,Ensor,Covington,Friday, and of course Corner Tangs if one is very lucky!

Re: Need help to ID new Find!!!!!!!!

I have found these point types at this site: 3 Bulverde, 5 Castroille, 4 Ensor, 5 Darl, 4 Carrolton, 1 Covington, 8 Early Triangular, 2 Edwards, 2 Fairland, 1 Friday, 1 Kinney, 2 Pedernales, 4 Zephyr, 1 Base Tang, 1 Perdiz, 1 Marcos.

Re: Need help to ID new Find!!!!!!!!

Wellsir, with what you have stated, you have potential to find numerous other types not listed, as your site (from the early archaic forward to the Mississippian) would appear to have it all but the paleo.
