   Bone arrow points are rare in the Mississippi Valley.

They can be compared to gar scale points because

both are made of organic materials and do not survive

the natural elements like stone. The two bone points

pictured here are related to the Mississippian culture

and the Cahokia Mounds Historic site, located near

St. Louis, Missouri. These two points are actually effigies

of sharks teeth. The smaller bone point in this picture

measures 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) long.
