Mike_H:
Just wanted to add that there will be an exhibit during the University of Southern Maine Knap-in of knappable lithics of New England. I will try to get pictures of it when I'm there. And if you are lucky enough to come visit, check it out yourselves.

one link I have found usefull is ---http://www.mindat.org/]http://www.mindat.org/. You can search for the rock of your choice and will give some hints were to look for it. I first found it looking for gold deposits to prospect.
thats all you will get from me. Rock hounds gard thier honny wholes better than fishermen do.

great work so far. Hey Bob thank for the info. I would like foe you to give me a call gotta ask you something. Listen guys my real reason for this project was to give ideas to people most people don't know that there are such a wide variety of Knapp able rock out there and if they knew there was a potential for discovering a new source then great. Believe me when I tell u we will never run out of flint and if we find new sources then we won't deplete one particular source...good work so far.

Maybe we can put this up on top for a reference page like it was intended for. It may be crude but as people add to it maybe after a certain period of time we can clean up the page if needed. My intentions of creating this page was to teach people who are interested in learning their states Knapp able rocks, rock formations, and everything in between. This is an important part in the stone tool making.
