How to succesfully reduce point weight!
« on: June 08, 2011, 04:29:23 pm »
Drove home from Houston TX to MO yesterday and stopped at a rest area where I found this rock. It works really nicely and I got a bit careless as it is so much easier to work than this chert I have up here, and I broke one of the ears off. I think it will still work to hunt with though.

p.s. what kind of rock is this? Don't have anything like it here.

Not exactly sure what that is but it could be like so much of the rock down here, some kind of pedernales. There are sand plants along a lot of the rivers and creeks that sift the sand out of the river gravel and a lot of it is chert. Could be some of the fill out of one of them quarry's. Yeah, i think that'll still stick a critter :).

I agree with Cowboy. Not sure where ya found it but I've seen similar material here in TX. & I works pretty good raw.

Look's like "good" rock to me. Nice point.
