Hillsborough
« on: July 12, 2010, 05:27:08 pm »
Some of yall might have seen this on Paleoplanet or flintknappers.com, I have to wait till I'm at work to compress the photos to post them here.
3 1/2 inches long and 2 inches wide at the wings.
This is agatized coral from FL. This was made from a spall from the outside of the coral head, just like most of the artifact were, notice there is some crust left on it. If you look close you can see all the polops in it.

That appears to be just about perfect Jesse! Kinda resembles one of those stealth bombers ;).

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!
