Looking at how thick the base is on that point makes me wonder if that wasn't on an atlatl dart versus an arrow shaft.

Again, great find.

Wow pretty neat find! DO you know what part of SW Utah it was found? Not for a treasure hunt but just curious because I live in SW Utah.

Here's another picture to better show the size of the point. It should confirm it's an arrow point

wow!!!!

I find it cool that the bone wasn't cracked any!  

Ron, do you have a facebook?  I would love to share this so others could see!  We have a tons of arrow heads and such around here.  I don't know of anyone that has seen anything like this.

What amazes me is how much penetration it got, yet it is a thick piece of flint. The shape and the edge with enough power behind it, the First Nation people were not playing with toys.
