  • Kay Co Chert ?

    I bought this point the other week and just got my camera working again. From what I have found on the web I think this is kay co chert also known as Floence A chert . Is that correct

        to the best of my knowledge
        there is a florence "a" "b" "c"
        the "a" turns pink/red after heat treating and has the fossils in it
        the "c" is a bluish grey before and after heat treating with out the fossils
        the "b" is in between the "a" and "c" grades of it
        it doesnt need heat treating to be knapped
        so after looking at what you have,and what i have
        i would say ,yes that is florence "a" chert,but i tend to think by the color that it may not be heat treated

            Hey Paleo Pete, I like the artifacts. That fossiliferous chert is a beautiful lithic. Thanks for showing.
