Just pulled her out of the box. My first paleo purchase, I'm pretty happy to have got it.

Beauty ..A new case for an old point ?
Wouldn't the original owner have been flabergasted to have known that his creation was to eventually reside in a climate controled teepee, cradled in a velvet wormeaten box ON THE WEST COAST

NICE!!! Good find Chris.

Very nice form but doesn't look like Texas material, correct & how much paid?

Your correct on material, its from Tennessee. I'm told by people who know more about that areas material than I do that it's Dover chert. I paid 400 for it, the few people I have talked with about it seemed to think it was a steal. I am very happy with it.

The price is right, the best part is it is getting older and more valuable with every tick of the

I've learned a lot about flint outside of Texas since you moved to the W coast ( and Tehuacana to the Arctic )..
Looking up your Clovis in the EC of the OvrS, we see there are 3 separate variations of a Clovis, local morphing ?... plus a straightforward reference to European ancestry..

Yours just seems to be a plain old fashioned every day Clovis

I've seen a couple since moving to Montana, just don't know how prevelant they are in the area. With all the buffalo jumps around, I'd think they were more common, just haven't had a chance to check out the sites yet. Kinda hard to do with snow on the ground.

Thanks Hal, I guess a plain old Clovis will have to do. I found the back half of one when I first got started, beginners luck I guess. I always wanted to find a whole one but I guess this will have to do. Good luck T, hope you get your killer soon.
