new material
« on: June 02, 2011, 09:47:23 pm »
I got a couple pcs of this material at the classic from Jesse, I can't remember what he called them but they reminded me of a clam in shape, or a flying sauser. Two turtle backs with a rim around the middle, anyways the material inside was pretty an flaked real well, Maybe Shannon can tell me what kind of rock this was. Sure wished I would got more of it :'( :'( Thanks for looking.  Bob

Bob, he called it "Campbell Creek" he picked up those nodules at Fort Campbell and heated them.  It's some type of Ft. Payne chert.

Well done Bob!
 That stuf makes a nice looking point.
I'v never seen it befor and i found it deer hunting on Ft Campbell, and i'v only ever seen it in one spot and the good stuff all looks like that.
It is a type of fortpayn.
