Hi TR Rat. A beautiful point, indeed. You done good. I think you got yourself a Stanfield. It is considered to be Trans. Paleo. Named by my old mentor James Cambron from the Stanfield-Worley bluff shelter in North Alabama. From my experience a pretty rare find. I found two of them. I think yours is about as good as they get. As for the type of chert. It could be Dover but more likely to be Ft. Payne as that is the predominant lithic in that area. Check out the website projectilepoints.net and you will see some examples.
I came back to see if anyone responded and after re reading what I wrote yesterday and I had a change of mind about the possible flint type. It could just as likely be Dover flint if you live in the Tennessee River area well north of where I hunted, as per example the Buffalo River area or north. In my area Ft. Payne chert seems to predominate.Last edited by sailorjoe; 09-21-2020, 10:18 AM.
