Heres a rare head of coral I cut into,check out the polyps

I have never found a head with the polyps so pronounced like these. Got some color into it also, not cooked at all. I wish I had more of this. :o

Very nice looking stuff good luck with it all and remember all us poor folk that has to use shale and mayonaise jars for knapping!  LOL...

I had a good chuckle going on for a bit ...thanks mullet.  Its good to see u guys making a good find!  Its too bad that there wasnt a way to find knappable stuff easier!    Well I hope u guys make some real nice points or blades!  I cant wait to see them! 

Cheers,
Russ

Roger, this is from the 2000 lbs of rock Rick and I hauled away from Claudes into the creek. I just happen to see it when I was throwing a bucket load out. Might be more like it in the creek we threw out. This was just a small head about the size of my hand and all I got was these 4 slabs.

Do you slab that stuff, to save on material, or was that just to highlight the features of the coral? Looks like awesome stuff.

I slabbed it to get the most out of that small head , but yes I always like to cut with the tubes or polyps on the face.
