Yeah !  Ain't it just the way.  I have picked up debitage found along the river that made some of the best material ever for points and have no idea of the source. (Maybe just a flood rock that one of the old ones found and knocked a flake off of)  ( Take what you get and hope to find more someday ) ;D  '  Frank

River rock. Lots of it in TX it can be anything from rootbeer to pedernales. You can pick up a truck load at numerous places in most rivers. Or go to the sand & gravel operations & ask for some Bull rock ( land scape stones). With a little heat it can really change.

That's what i was gonna say - looks like some pedernales. Have found fields full of it just a little south of San Antonio..
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.
