Did a little Calf creekin today.
D. Tiller:
PS: Oceanspray, if ya know where to look, can get up to 3" in diameter. Mine was about 1-1 1/2" thick and boy is this stuff dense, even when wet!!!
Woodland Roamer:
Nice points Paul!

PeteDavis:
Exceptional. What region does the Calf Creek point come from, and from what time span? PD
cowboy:
Thanks Alan.
Pete: Andice and Calf Creek's are virtually the same thing. Andice are from the early Archaic period, 8,000 to 5,000 years before present. Calf Creek's are from the same time only from mid to later Archaic - I don't know how they differenciate the two. Andice is present for most of the southern central US, from OK, AR, West La, and most of TX. Calf Creek's stretched into the Northern Central US - MN, WI, IA, IL, and Indiana.
Cool stuff but not all that old :).
FlintWalker:
I have a friend who found a Calf creek about the size of the first one you posted. He found it in a creek bed a few years ago. I wish I had a picture to show you. The best I remember it was a darker color, maybe blueish grey. but the cool part was it had what looked like a lightning bolt running diagonally across it. I remember seeing it and was just amazed by it.
