I have found several, no, many of the smaller ones pictured in south Texas and northern Mexico. Never found one of those big ones, that would be a treat!

Hello from Clovis, NM.
It's also interesting to speculate from where they got the flint.
Blackwater Draw is a sand dune down to what used to be the water table.

I just don’t understand this mamouth and mastodon fetish. What about ground sloths, short nosed bears, saber cats or dire wolves?

If this old world last a few thousand years someone is going to be very confused in my area LOL. I had a cousin who could make arrowheads. As a prank my dad and I found a large 250 - 300 pound Quartz rock and delivered it to his front porch while he was at work. Within a few months he made some real great points from it. The three of us used to go out hunting arrowheads together. I still have my dads collection.

“...high-quality flint,...” Thank you for reminding me. I use Ronson brand although there are others. I meant to refill my Zippo and I had forgotten ‘til flint was mentioned in the article and comments.
Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em. The lamp is lit.

I live right on the Balcones Escarpment in Texas. Our property is “blessed” with hundreds of thousands of rocks. We used some of them for landscaping, and found that a very high percentage are chert, which is multicolored flint. It is somewhat uncommon to find such a large supply of flint.
We find broken flint chips along a natural wash. Some of the chips look like some of the pictures of the “Clovis points”. Some have speculated that early humans used this area to find and make their cutting tools.
