Nice looking :)
Can you track down the quarry it came from?

Thanks Dbar I really like this stuff it's durable but workable. Yea Zuma I'm pretty sure I know where it came from Ive been to the quarry before to get limestone. I'm working on getting to walk around and do some collecting. My cousin has a friend of a friend who works there. I know the owner has let people collect or saved some stuff for them before. Hopeing I can get in there.

From my experience nice black shinny chert
like that forms in a lens mostly associated
with fossil rich Devonian deposits.
Not in nodules. It would be nice to know
if this is so at your quarry. Good large
black material is pretty rare.

I can tell by the pieces this stuf was in layers. Some has a white creamy color molted in that stuff is high quality too. I found some that was battleship grey that's really slick too. There was a lot of this banded stuff but it's not as good of quality and a lot harder to work. The top one is dacite, but bottom two are from windmill rd. I was trying to remove crystal from base got my flake but broke my point
