Yeah, I was thinking Midland/Goshen? But, I am only familiar with photos of this stuff. So, after hearing Plainview suggested, I refreshed my memory, online, and realized that it looks like Plainview, too. But, then I realized that some of the points appear, at least in the photos, to be fluted. So, could anyone please give a breakdown as to what we are looking at? Are these even fluted points? Or, is this just basic basal thinning? Thanks in advance!

Ben.
It is very hard to tell "types from Pictures.
But they do look like Plainview,,,,and yes some Plainviews are thinned or fluted and are believed to be related to earlier Clovis and Contemporary Dalton Types.

Now look at this Beauty
