In the comming weeks we will be doing some much needed server maintenance. The site may become inaccessable for a day or two during this process. Please be patient as we work to make the forum experience better for all of you.
I suggest that you need a bigger frame. If they touch each other long enough sooner or later gonna get modern damage. That is a nice collection . Thanks for sharing it with us.
Yes, a dandy frame for sure. And as clovisoid says, those points to the right of center are probably very old. I would like to see those lanceolate shaped points closer up. I see possibly Paleo and Trans. Paleo for sure. Your Early Archaic points are dandies as well. Those real old points are "eye candy" for me.
I assume much of the material is Flattop Chalcedony from Eastern Colorado. Flattop is part of the White River Group formation, and that formation produces some darker stuff that can look a lot like KRF. (But it's also realistic that KRF could end up in a site collection from Colorado/Nebraska where you'd expect to see more Flattop.) Paleo and Archaic folks in Colorado and Nebraska used a lot of Flattop.
I posted this in "color" thread, shows the KRF color/connection...
3.5x5 transitional era biface /core Flattop chalcedony NE Colorado, the chalcedony has a much more waxy character than KRF
