Not sure I heard you say what kind of material that was? I got some stuff out of a bank at the beach that looks similar but im not sure what it is. Looks like you got allot out of it ;D

The chert is probably what we call Edward's Plateau chert.  Not nearly as good a Georgetown but similar.  The outer portion near the cortex is the best part.  If you have similar looking stuff, you should try it raw.  If you know someone who can heat treat it, heat some of it too.

I'm going to count the number of arrowheads that I make out of it and then weigh them.
