You want to see what water wear can do to our lithics, our argillite can be weathered to the point that the flaking is virtually erased. Here is such an argillite point. Argillite may be our poorest lithic, be it our local varieties, or something like Lockatong Argillite from Pa/NJ, which weathers worst of all. Unless one is used to finding points with this degree of water wear, one could easily just not collect this at all. Many, from outside our region, might very well say "that's just a rock", but, nope, this is an extreme case of water wear. I took to calling this degree an "erased point".
