Hey guys, Here is another hornstone core from the same site. This one weighs 16.5 pounds. As you know, it is difficult to picture what the eye can see but I will try. This core is very much different than the 85 pound core. I took eight pictures turning the rock counterclockwise with the rock balanced on a flattened end where a large spall was removed. It appears that the nodule was split nearly in half lengthwise. Many small spalls were removed from the half that remains. After the eight picture gif file I have another jpg showing the flattened end that the rock was balanced on. I hope you can see most of what I see.

Pretty cool gif Ron. Thanks for sharing. I would like to see how deep that patina runs when you get around to cutting that up.TN formerly CT Visit our store http://stores.arrowheads.com/store.p...m-Trading-Post

One strike and I got a real nice spall. This is the right size for a knife blade. The bulb is visible but not too thick. The patina appears thicker than it actually is because the edge is not a ninety. The patina is closer to one MM than two.
