Copena?

[arvo]

I read it could be a round based copena but not sure. I've not really heard of any being found around my area and I'm not sure on the material either any help would be appreciated.

Refresh our memory, where is your area?
Does look like it could be Copena.

I'm in central kentucky

Copena is very likely then.

Looks like a Copena to me. I'd like to see the point in natural light because it would make the material easier to i.d, I'm thinking Hornstone or Ft Payne chert.
Nice find!

Thank you for the help

Copena looks right to me, too. Except I go farther and would call it a Copena triangular as opposed to the "classic" Copena. It is larger than most but a Copena nevertheless.

Hey Arvo, That's a beautiful blade and thanks for the additional pictures.

[arvo]

Thank you for the comments and information.

The additional photos helped thanks, I'm thinking this Copena is made from Boyles chert. This is a pretty common lithic for central Kentucky, and one of my favorites. Really cool find!

Where does Boyles chert originate from in kentucky

I just found a post by gregszybala that explains it thank you for the help.
