Vermont area rock?
« on: May 11, 2011, 01:28:08 pm »
Will be heading to Vermont on a trout fishing excursion soon and was wondering if anyone knows of knappable rock in that area? I believe we will be in the southern area or central Vermont.

Thanks Jamie, I read today where a guy found some good looking rock in Lake Champlain. He had a picture of it (Paleo Planet site)posted in 2007 and I think his site name was Chuckar???

I don't believe I will get to Lake Champlain, but I do appreciate the info. Just can't seem to get away from Rhyolite material...LOL
