Here's some NC material. This arrowhead was found in the Piedmont region. I'm thinking it is Woodland in age. It is really thin also; about 1/16" to 3/16" thick. I've tried to research it a little on my own and I can't figure it out yet. It was purdy hard to get a good pic. It has a slight reflective property, so I backed the camera off and zoomed in. It appears this material cleaves off in a different pattern. I'm not real sure here, so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

Need sharper photos. Try using the macro function (flower icon on camera). Yes, slate does fracture as you describe, but most slate items are ground. Argillite has a layered bedding structure, also.You may have a geofact there.Can't say much more than that based on the photos. What kind of camera are you using?

I'm using a 3.2 camera on my phone. It's on the macro setting also. I tried taking pics with and without the flash. There is a reflective property so I had to back off more and then I zoomed it in. I first thought it was a geofact, but one edge looks intentionally flaked. This object is really flat, the thickness tolerates between 1/16" to 3/16". Maybe these pics will work out. Thanks.

Try cleaning your lens it might not be focusing because of dirty optics.
