Title: stack attack abo

What a nightmare the stone had a large fossil in the middle. As you can see in the first photo I tried to set up a nipple and flute it from the end then took a flake off of the side. Then took one off the other side.

Nicely done, I love clutch flakes that remove big trouble spots.

I agree that that was well done, but I would have tossed that stubborn thing before getting that far.

Imagining little, tiny Frenchmen in armor in that castle laughing at the English K-nig-its! "Ha!  I fart in your general direction!"
