For those that are not familiar with the gray variety of  Normanskill chert.
And what I think to be a Vosburg type point. Could be considered a notched broadspear. LOL

I actually had a pair going here.
But the green material is fraut with more crystal growth and bugaboos than the darker material on the left.
I lost length and thinness on the second piece time and again.
You can see the hail Mary's in it. lol
I had to work very hard for these field grade points. :(
