Title: Two new points
Post by: madcrow on April 27, 2009, 04:07:02 pm

I knocked out a couple this morning while I was supposed to be asleep.  One is thunder chert adn the other is heck if I know.  It is black, a little glassy, and I wish I had a truck load of it.  For some odd reason, English Flint comes to mind.  Anybody know?Flakes great.  Both came in just over the legal width, so I may m ount them adn atleast chunk them at squirrels or something this fall.

 Nice points Madcrow, I would say the black point is Dacite

I would guess either Dacite or possibly black Novaculite. Both are nice to work.

Good looking points.
