Hixton ?
Two small points, unknown to me. The larger of the two may be Hixton.

The one on the right is an Agate Basin made of Hixton. Hixton looks like sugar grains up close. Its Transitional Paleo to Early Archaic 10,5000 - 8,000 BP. The basil area on this one should be ground.
The one on the left looks like a worked down Angostura. Most have basil grinding.Its Early Archaic 10,000 - 8,0000 BP. It may be made of Burlington Chert of Jefferson City Chert.
This picture shows a full range of colors that can be found in Hixton.The artifacts represented here are from the Paleo, Archaic and Woodland periods. Picture from Lithic Casting Lab. Great place to buy reproductions.
