Both made of obsidian. I really like the way the larger one came out...pretty proud of that one...nice deep notches. Had to leave a little bit of the cortex on that one which you can see at the base of the one side. I also really like the streaks in the small one that jump out when you move it in the light.

Oh yeah Dan! Nice flaking and notching - those kinda resemble the agee style point?

Thanks guys.

Cowboy: ya very similar to the agee style points in a way....i just don't narrow the tip like they did, just around the notches... I'm sure it's been done before...it all has...but I just came up with this shape on my own...
