[Bonetools] projectile points from mollusc shell

[Eva David]

Dear Jørgen,
Very interesting subject indeed that you are dealing with, specially for shell midden collections of the Late/Final Mesolithic but not only.
I have fishooks probably made of shell for which it isn't visually possible to determine the species.
I was wondering how you could identify yours ?
Best,
éva david

Does anyone know of or have any litterature on mollusc projectile points? We are particularely interested in freshwater mussels, but information on any type of molluscs are very welcome.
