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

Lokks better than a clam shell now. Nice Job.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

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.
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.
