Found some rock on the farm
« on: March 04, 2012, 09:04:56 pm »
Found some rock on the farm that I kinda like have no clue what it is to be honest breaks good and consistent only thing is freeze fractures wondering how far I could dig down to avoid that? Well here some pics this is in South Central Kentucky.









This next piece is my favorite piece.





Want to make a hunting point from this eventually but I'm still pretty green.

Thanks for looking

And if anyone is wondering this is all gravel now might have some flakes to make small points out of but thats it. Haven't caught onto how to thin it down without losing all your width the last one was turtle back really bad wasn't sure how to tackle that.

I picked up a bunch of stuff in middle TN around Pappys and other creeks that looked a lot like that. Don't know exactly what it would be called but suspect that a little heat might help it out - haven't gotten to that point yet.

That looks like "Mulbrough" it's a type of Ft. Payne chert.   Heat will help it out...a little.
