Finding Chert in Iowa (and other places if you want)
« on: May 29, 2012, 07:11:59 pm »
Hello all:

I thought you might be interested in some chert exposure maps I am creating for Iowa. I am doing it one county at a time and have Henry and Washington counties done. I am working on Louisa County right now. It takes awhile to publish each map because I am ground-truthing as I go. You can go to www.rollinghillsconsulting.com and click on County Chert Maps to access them. If you follow RHCS on Facebook, you will be notified when the next map is up. Contact me if you want a map for your state and the data to make it is available.

Hope this is helpful!

Chad

Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.
