I tried to google it and could not get anything to come up.  Have not looked in Overstreet yet.  Does anyone have a picture?  I will try it if I can find out what it is.

In overstreet: NE, late paleo. 11,000 - 10,000 BP. Right between cumberland and clovis. Broadest point is toward the tip end, fluted, concave base. Cross section often as thin as Folsom, uh oh!

I gave the fluted Crowfield a shot this morning. One side fluted decent and the other went a little sideways...It's a learning curve for certain..

Hammered out a blank on lunch, see if I cant get it done this evening. Left a lot of room at the base to set up my flutes.

Hey Nc, great lookin crowfield, Concave your base a little and will look just like the one in the Overstreet's. Nice job, I broke my first one, Was fightin a crack in one side but got greedy and tryed to flute one when I knew dang well it wasn't go into work. Why would I do that? :o :o :( Bob

These things are tougher than I thought. I'm not going to waste any more rocks till I learn how to flute. Good idea clewis on the base, I tried that too. Goodun nc.

Here's a dinky-doodle one I made today from some of Pappy's 'pappyite' he had sent to cowboy, who in turn sent some to me. Looking at it now I should have made the base sides even longer but reducing so much of the cutting edge isn't in my nature apparently.  ::)
