I got a bunch of rock today from a friend. Anyone know what this one is, When I first picked up this spall thought it was a tuff raw pc of that grey texas stuff, started hitting and flaked pretty good but now looks like wet salt, Maybe Quartsite or Hixton. Not sure where it came from and there are some more in the box that I need to check out, Steve (caveman) where ya at. Bob

Dang, I got a piece of that stuff too!  No idea what it is.
Florida to Kwajalein to Turkey and back in Florida again.  Good to be home but man was that an adventure!

Yep, it's one of them. Hixton kinda reached out and smacked me first off. Lol
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I guess it is Talahatta, I had a few pcs of this before and they seemed alot tuffer than this pc.Must be a better grade seems to knap pretty good, Maybe I can make a nice Southeastern style point, Thanks for help. Bob
