Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a medium lanceolate shaped stemmed point with an elliptical cross section. The blade is primarily excurvate. Heavily re-sharpened examples may have the blade flare out at the shoulders edge. The blade is commonly serrated just above the hafting region and beveling is common. The shoulders are most commonly weak to absent and at an upward slope, however, horizontal to slightly barbed shoulders may be seen. The stem is primarily straight, but may vary to slightly expanding to slightly contracting. The base is most commonly straight, but may range to slightly concave. Grinding is usually seen on the hafting region. This point has a random flaking pattern.
Size Measurements:
Total Length - 75 to 100 mm, Stem Length - 25 to 35 mm (typically just under 1/3 total length of point), Blade Width - 23 to 40 mm, Stem Width at shoulders - 20 to 30 mm, Base Width - 15 to 25 mm.

Additional Comments:
This point has been credited to Dwain Rogers for naming, but no publication has been found by Dwain Rogers regarding this point. Dwain Rogers did extensive research on Corner Notch Knifes of Texas in 1999, but this point was not mentioned. This point was mentioned by Gregory Perino (2003) as a Texas Kirk, but this was not found to be a true type. This point probably represents an extension in distribution for the Searcy type.
