Am trying to figure out this picture thing

Apparently it is not so easy a caveman can do it! >:D
That is a wicked looking chip as it lies there next to the stone it came from. I love that photo!

Well I have the links down but I can't get them directly into the message. I have a photobucket account but can't figure it out other than the links

Bingo!!
-
You figured it out. I think you are supposed to paste the "direct link" between the insert image HTML here. Anyway, super great lighting on that picture and what a wonderful point. I am wondering why the difference in shape between that channel flake and the flake scar? I would guess some of the channel flake detached from the main flake? Regardless, it stands as a wonderful Clovis and a super great picture, full of detail.

It may be the flake from the other side,The clovis is Flint from Northern Germany, I think. Here's another test Esopus chert from NY

Oh this will be more fun now that I can post pics.

Ja, das ist gut! Deutsch Flint!
My wife tells me flintknapping is "feuersteinbeitung" in German.
-
Steve, nice to see ya over here and with pics is even better. ;D I opened a photobucket acct, but can't seem to get pics on to PP. Computers are way harder than knapping :o :o Bob
-
Wow, that flint Covis looks like a piece of candy.
-
Great looking work Steve! Does the esopus have a petroleum smell when flaked?

It was very much like candy. The German flint was very much like good English flint and it was heated to 400. No the Esopus does not have the petroleum smell the Onondaga does.
-
Beautiful! I think the flake is just rolled over. Looking at it, I think it would roll right back in place. Nice work, and nice material. some of that stuff looks like granite! Is it?

That Clovis deserved a shazam when that flute came off. I can hear it from hear. Nice work.

Thanks All Just glad I figured out the picture posting thing. Had frustrated me for a while. Now when Rob was here I showed him how to do it so I expect we'll start seeing some of his pictures also. :)
