Obrigado Filipe,

Now i can clearly see page 450 in my Stone copy.
My posting of the illustration from “Educational Charts” (Met 1917) was my (poor) way to exclude David's specimen from such typologies. It is obviously that it is not a fork (forquilha), as his seller claimed, with its three points as you well recall, but i fail to discern its category among all types of tridents pointed out. I can see your pertinent point in that Stone's examples #4 and #7 show us that bulbous swelling in the center spike basis but, all the rest configures (to me) a rather different approach. So different that, so far, i dare say that, David's trident variation is so distant from all seen as European than from the Jawa trisola... for one

Fica bem.
