      Looks like they are to small to be preforms and the lower one is some rough chert, my guess would be there are waste rock from making points and tools

        Combined with your other similar find, looks like typical stuff from right at the rock source where they were breaking up material looking for usable pieces.

          Well all that explains why everything is broke or used up.i found only like three or four pieces that are pretty whole.ill post em later.i have two sites I'm working rn one is quartz stuff and the other has this material and some Jasper downhill by the creek. This stuff degrades bad I think due to the iron content

            Hi RC. Not preforms for sure. If I saw the site then that would hep me get an idea as to what it was used for and how these busted pieces of chert fit in. As far as Paleo or Dalton. Unless you have identifiable points or tools then we don't know anything about the site as to cultural period. Show us some whole points or other tools.

                if there is one thing that really bothers me it is when a guy posts fakes and claims he found them. Guys like that get banned. The ban is for life. I know who you are. I wont bother going into how I know I just know.. I just had to recollect why I banned you in the first place. So Worldman304 you ban stays in place and if you come back again I will just keep banning you. Buy a book and read it. reflect on your poor judgement that day you posted fakes here. Turn your life around. I do not know why you did what you did but I will not allow you to do it again for two years.
