South Jersey

[Skyhawk]

Rained yesterday and I took advantage. Walked a field in south jersey and found a few things. Sticking my neck out on a possible ID to see if I got it right.....

Scale is 1" blocks. Thinking the point is a Jasper Beekman. The other broken point looked like it would have been nice.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not familiar with many NE points...but if that was found here... I'd think it was on the early side of the age spectrum. Really nice point! I'm looking forward to members thoughts from your region!

Can’t help... but, I like....✌️

The flaking and form isn't quite there for a Beekman triangle. Beekmans are normally very triangular with Woodland flaking, more precise. The random flaking on this is earlier, and if you look close, unless it's just in the photography, your point appears to have two small notches started in the base. This may have been intended to be a notched base point, possibly an Oley or Erb basal notch. The other one is any one's guess. Maybe a thin Kirk or even a Perkiomen.

I tried....
I understand what you are saying, makes sense - hopefully in due time, I'll put it all together and notice the identifying nuances. Thanks!

Does that triangle have a couple tiny notches on the bottom? That would be an Eshback. Not common but occur in S Jersey.

Kayak - I tried to play with the lighting to show better detail. I'm not able to determine if there are notches at the base .... maybe these close ups can help. Thanks.

Couple nice finds....I like the red and cream colored rock...I got a point made outta that found here in Ct.

Great bonus picks. Typology is not always clear. Put it in a case for sure 😃

I'm thinking Eshback as well. Nice Jasper. Kim

It looks like the base was smashed and reworked.
