Without holding it, no. But, it does appear like it stands a very good chance of being Calf.

Calf Creek eventually morphed into Haskell or Cooper styled points, Haskell being the more prevalent in the middle part of the Calf Creek range, and Cooper further northward. They are incredibly thin, but the pressure flaking on them isn't quite as refined. Haskell are largely mistaken for Calf Creek points.

Thanks Matt

I took some more images of the Calf Creek I inherited. It has been banged up and I am surprised that both ears are still attached. I was told by my Greatgrand Mother that she and her sister would walk behind thier father as he plowed the fields (still don't know where) and that the larger flat ones were kept for skipping on the river, as they were the best stones for this. I cring when I think of what went into the water. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
