    These points are identified by Fowler as type IX double-notched serrated points at top and type I triple-notched Cahokia points in the bottom row. In all three caches there were only 39 double-notched serrated type IX points. But the highest number of points are represented by type I triple-notched Cahokia points. There were 429 examples found in the three caches. The longest point in this picture measures approximately 1 7/8 inches (4.7 cm) long. The points in the top row are made of a material that has not been positively identified. The points in the bottom row are made of either Elco or Dover/Fort Payne chert.

Double-notched & triple-notched Mound 72 Cahokia points.
