What part of Texas did you find those in. Flint and style are like what we find here in SW Missouri. GW Texas Hill Country, along the Colorado River, in the San Saba area.

That one on the left looks like a Paleo point, Neal. I was thinking the same thing Barry.

All I can figger, is probably some little injun kid dropped a Milkdud after trick-or-treating at the neighbors tipi and squished it with his little moccasin. It then layed there long enuff to petrify, before I picked it up....

What's the last tool on the lower right in the second picture. It's on the pink cloth. Angular with horizontal bands. I have one almost identical and have wondered as to it's purpose. [/quote]
My best guess is it was going to be turned into a full groove celt, but I am not sure. Others may have a better idea. My first thought was, its just a rock, but you can definitely tell it has been worked on when you examine it closer.

Best place to hunt is some oldtimer's garage or attic. Thats were someone will find mine someday. Have some unusual artifacts but no talent for posting pictures.
Your second picture left side second from bottom. What is the length and width? You are very fortunate to have obtained that collection. GW The length is 9.5 inches. The diameter is around 2 inches. I was pretty fortunate to pick this collection up. They didn't even have the tools out for sale, just the box of arrowheads. I like collecting rocks and artifacts because I like sharing them with others. Once the owners talked to me for a while, they brought the box of tools out of the corner of the garage and offered them to me. I paid $84 for the whole collection (what was in my pocket at the time). They just wanted to see them go to a home where they would be appreciated vs sold. The owner wanted to keep one arrowhead for sentimental reasons. I've only found 2 arrowheads on my own, plus an old clay marble.

Yours might be a bird, snake, or lizard egg...but Im betting thats what it is. Injun scat don't have clear centers...
