Whatever the material, it looks like the faces of this blade run more parallel with the bands, rather than perpendicular, or otherwise across, if that makes sense.
You can see more banding in the bevel.
Like all my stuff, this is a personal find in Bullitt Co KY.
I took some pics with varying levels of light. Too much sun and there is a lot of glare and it's hard to see the banding.
I'm not going to put any links here, not sure what the rules are, but when I google Tyrone chert, one particular example that looks very similar, even matches the color of this piece is a top hit.
When I look at pieces that are undeniable Crab Orchard, which I think is a subgroup of Tyrone, most of those pieces have more banding visible, but thinking it depends on how your point was knapped and how it runs across the material.
What do you guys think? Please and thank you...
