Opinions needed please

I have several pieces I plan on posting for opinions. Some of you will probably know right off what type you think they are, but for some reason I cant make up my mind on them.

So here's the first one. Its a personal find. It's made from what I think is petrified wood. The base is ground, and it has some very nice edge work. I tried to get good pictures of the flaking, and this is the best I could do with artificial light.

Just a guess using Overstreet, but a Kramer maybe? The member "Neralich" will probably be able to nail it...

yep, so many local names. You'll identify it, has very specific attributes.

Down here kinda looks like a Hamilton, 5750 BC. Like an improved Kirk. Some of the first truly stemmed points. Hale, I don't know, LOL. Nice point!

What is the theory behind points that have these flat reddish areas. I have a few and have always wondered. I have one where it is on the base but most are on one face.
Nice point.

MCS, I think it is just cortex that wasn't removed (the rind of the material).

Looks like heat treated Burlington.
I was also thinking Kramer.
Nice work on that one. Nice find.

Not sure if Kramers are typically ground or heat-treated. I'll see what the MO opinions are.

I was thinking Kramer as well. The Point on the far left from Iowa was given to me for my states collection and ID'ed as a Kramer and yours looks very similar.
