Post by: Stringman on December 16, 2015, 07:14:25 pm: Thanks Don. Of the 2 knife blades - the bigger is banded obsidian. The red is actually a piece of horse creek. The wide corner notch in the middle of the hunting points is Sonora.

Post by: Knapper on December 17, 2015, 09:50:20 am: Way to go Scott. The set is awesome. One of the most prized points in my collection is the one we traded for at the last Classic. Thanks again

Post by: Sasquatch on December 17, 2015, 10:56:59 am: Man you really know how to crank them out. It was hard to see the awesomeness with the flakes in background. But I know they are good.
Title: Re: Been after it lately..
Post by: Stringman on December 17, 2015, 11:30:27 am: Knapper, sounds like you need to work on your collection. >:D

Thanks guys.

Nathaniel I noticed that, but was trying to get the light right to make the background work. I'm afraid some of them just blended to much. I had the thought, it would make an extremely hard jigsaw puzzle. :o

Thanks String,
Always learning something new here. :)
I am familiar with all your lithics except
the Senora. I don't know why because it
seems to have a distribution like Hornstone.
I always thought it was SW by the name :laugh:
Zuma
For a chert point that is extra thin ;)

Post by: Stringman on December 17, 2015, 01:41:55 pm: I think the name is interchangeable with Kentucky blue, but not certain of that.
