Hello,
I've been pretty addicted to this hobby for over two and a half years now, and one thing I've learned is that it can be difficult for a noob to properly identify lithic materials. Now I've seen threads here with pictures of different New England materials, but what I'm looking for is something much more in depth. I would like something that will give me examples of all the known lithics, plus the full range of variations within a lithic type. A geology book of New England NA lithics I suppose is what I'm looking for, and google hasn't been very helpful in my search. Does anyone know of such a thing? Will I have to settle for just a North East geology book? And if that's the case, can anyone make any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
Just a side note, if this sort of thing isn't available, wouldn't it be a good idea for the community here to create threads for each material with with a wide range of examples submitted by forum members laying out the different variations? It would also be great if it included information such as material source, or how far from the source it can be found... stuff like that. Not sure if these types of threads already exist on this forum and I know I'm probably asking for too much, but I'd really like to see something like that.
