  • Fluted or not fluted ?

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone can tell me if this point is fluted or not, It seems to have vertical flaking on the base, its very thin about the size of a guitar pick, thanks

    I'd call it more Basal Thinning than a flute.

      Very cool material! Looks like a high grade material, do you know the lithic? Where is this point from? 
      As for fluted or not, I agree with Stonehunter,  it appears more like basal thinning strikes to me.

              I found it in central Nebraska, im not sure but may be Moss Agate, I may be totally wrong on that though.

                Hey Medich, Even without a flute that is one beautiful point. I love the material.

                  That is one very sweet little point.

                    I think it's a Madison point with basil thinning. Nice point!

                        It's not fluted but exhibits a number of well executed basal thinning flakes. The material appears to be Flattop Chalcedony.
