Maybe A Paleo Category?

I dont know Just changing the subject...Heres a pretty cool paleo simpsom...Dont really have much in paleo.Wouldnt mind see yours right here..

I would say it is Paleo to Early Archaic.
I would go with Winddust - A medium sized, broad point that has weak shoulders, and a stemmed, concave base. Basil concavity can be shallow to steep. Yours is shallow. - Paleo to Early Archaic 10,200 - 7,500 B.P.
But it also might be an Alberta (has a braod, long parallel stem and weak shoulders) or a Cody Complex (has square stem -and- weak shoulders)

Whoa! You serious Jack?..Id better..You mean I could be rrrrrooonnngg.I mean i could be rrrrnnngg...Ok wrong?..

I just assumed this point was from the Great Basin based on your artifacts in the background. Looked like fine grained basalt or obsidian.
Most Simpsons are found in Florida, where was this artifact found? Simpsons are late Paleo 12,000 - 8,000 BP.

Actually below Birmingham,Alabama..

[greywolf22]

OK I will go with Simpson. Should have asked first before I jumped in. Wrong part of the country to be a Winddust, but sure looks like one.

[Pullenrock]

No its not obsidian..is a better pict Jack?

PALEO-INDIANS IN FLORIDA
In 1983, Jim Dunbar and Ben Waller published a distribution map and interpretation of the paleo-Indian sites in Florida.
Dunbar and Waller mapped finds of diagnostic Paleo-Indian artifacts. These "diagnostics" are "...Clovis, Suwannee, or Simpson projectile points and carved ivory foreshafts or pins." (Butcher-marked bone of mammoth, horse, and giant tortoise were not included because there is evidence that these now-extinct animals lived on into a later period and may have been hunted by early Archaic Indians.)
It is clear that Florida Paleo-Indians favored the two karst regions of the state. "Karst" is a geological term referring to near-surface, highly eroded limestone characterized by erosional features such as sink-holes, caves, fissures, and deeply-incised stream-channels.
The isolated region (map) on the Florida-Alabama border is an area of uplifted limestone which is the toe of the Chattahoochee Anticline.
The larger karst region is a result of the Ocala Uplift, a crustal movement which took place a few tens of millions of years ago. Today (just as 12,000 years ago), forty-million-year-old limestone is exposed at the surface in this region. Limestone of the same age (Late Eocene) remains deeply-buried in other parts of the state.
Dunbar and Waller suggest that Paleo-Indians favored these karst regions for two reasons: 1.) for access to fresh water through sink-holes and other karst features; and 2.) for access to exposures of chert (for tool-making) which occurs within the exposed limestone.
