Title: Fossils in flintknapping
Post by: GooseGossett on February 12, 2013, 12:07:42 pm

I was looking for some potential pictures y'all might have of anything flintknapped that has a fossil in it.  I have this and would love to see anything you have with some unique fossils included.  I would like to show any pictures for an opportunity I have to minister to some high school students in a couple of weeks.  Thanks!
