Looking for opinions on this piece

I found this about four years ago. I have had 3 authenticators look at it. Two of them were at shows, and one of them I actually sent it to with a friends stuff he was sending off. I wasnt curious about the authenticity, just the type, and material.

All three authenticators (two of which are highly respected) gave different opinions on type.

So..... I would like opinions on what you all would call it. I'll post the opinions of the authenticators later.

If it wasn't for the slightly concave base I'd guess Hopewell. A little out of my area but I can see where there is some confusion on that one.

It looks like a Jacks Reef Pentagonal to me. Not real sure on the material though. Burlington maybe??

Tough call. Has characteristics of Grand, Ferry, and Hardin imo.

awsome point!, unsure, looks kinda like hardin imo. most of the other suggestions have more convex bases, looks very thin though and steve mentioned jacks reef c.n., they are knon to be very thin I think.

Greg Perino would have been the BEST to type this!! It looks like Avon chert to me, which outcrops in central Ill. A stronger pressure flaking and I would guess Hardin
