This is a good one for either Cowboy...or Hillbilly....I would say that the left one is Belize...and the right side one is Georgetown Chert....or maybe Perdeles too....I am not a pro at this Rock Stuff........ ::)

I'd say the one on the left is from Texas. If it flaked easily, it was probably heated.  That stuff can be a bear to pressure flake when it is raw.   I have some English flint that looks exactly like the center one, it is pretty tough too.  I have no experience with working chert from Belize, though I saw similar colored flakes as the point to the right when I was at some Mayan ruins in Belize a few years ago.  Hope this helps.

I am pretty sure that the left is Texas and the middle is English and that leaves the other to be Belize.
