    The bottom 1/3 appears to be LIGHTLY ground. There in indeed a small fractor in the left(in this pic) ear. It appears thinned on one side, but not heavily thinned like I've seen on copenas. The maker tried to thin the other side but it appears it stacked on him(hinge factor).

      I think form what I am seeing in all photos provided and knowing that the base is only lightly ground I am calling it a Copena Auriculate and a dang good one at that. I never saw a better one.

    Here are pics of the other point in question. One side is definitely thinned, the other side has a median ridge with nice, lateral percussion flakes on either side. There is some fine pressure flaking on the edges, but not all the way around...

      Thank you providing additional photos of this point. I have given it much study and still am not ready to offer an ID but I am leaning strongly toward it being a Frazier. I will need just a little more time.These triangular points can often be very hard to ID. By the way there is one other point I had questions about that I can not ID. It is the corner notch point that I would like to help with if I can. So more photos of it or answers to my questions before I can proceed further on that one.

    I am no longer in the lower 48 with my collection of points... but I can tell you what i remember about it... it was fairly thick overall, with one side thicker than the other- possibly 40-50% thicker. The sides were pretty flat, with no median ridge or ellipse. The edges were all pretty sharply beveled. Prob about 45°, maybe a little sharper. The edges were pressure flaked. I don't recall any grinding on the egdes, but the bottom of the base seemed lightly ground. Hope this helps with your ID. Thanks for taking the time to help type these points.

      Sailorjoe,
      what do you think about new paint valley point rather than Frasier? They have the 'lateral oblique' percussion flakes and pressure flaking on 'some edges, but not all.' Quoating a website here...I understand they are not always accurate, tho....
