BEND-HINGE "FLUTES,"
CRUSHING & All three tips of these Dalton points have undergone obvious use-wear impact fracturing. The point on the left has a bend break type fracture that might be referred to as a bend-hinge "flute." The point in the center has a large hinge termination type fracture that was caused by a crushing type break pattern. The point on the right was damaged from a crushing type of impact pattern that resulted in the shearing of one edge with a burin type break and step fracturing on the face.
