    This very finely carved and ground bone Cahokia point

is believed to have been found many years ago on the

Cahokia Mounds site. It is probably as thin as any examples

that have ever been found. Although rare, this point

represents the more common "un-notched" style of bone

points that have been found on the Cahokia Mounds
site. This point appears to have been made to look like

a sharks tooth. It has very straight edges that are serrated

plus a fairly deep concave base. This point may be made

of deer bone and it measures 1 7/16 inches (3.6 cm), 5/8 inch

(1.5 cm) and 1/16 inch (1.1 mm).
