      I don't know what the piece on the left might be but it is interesting because the material appears to be rootbeer Edwards - which is something paleo people would have carried into the area from Texas.
      The piece in the middle has deep diving almost overshot flaking and fine edge sharpening on one edge. The piece on the right might be a snapped tip.

          This does not always apply but rule of thumb, three times longer than wide...

                  Super nice Folsom ! Congrats ! It’s just has a impurity in the material...I’m happy you found it because if it were to get water in the impurity , could of become Two pieces when a freeze were to cause a fracture.. Truly a miracle that had not happened !

                    I thought about the Folsom, now I’m thinking that it prolly had crystals along the line of the fault. We are looking at this wrong. The reason they made it from what we see as a impurity , they saw as art, so to speak ! So I don’t think it’s a stretch to say they used that material on purpose !

                    I never realized how small they are . Until I looked inside this Overstreet book

                      There are even smaller mini Folsoms in the half inch range.
                      I previously shared one that was made on a salvaged midsection fragment of a broken Folsom.
                      Check out pictures of the Shifting Sands Folsom finds - some mini Folsoms in that collection
