Houston landscaping flint

[kayakaddict]

Visiting Houston for a weekend I spied a few fields of flint in urban landscaping. Shocked me, nothing like that in South Jersey. Just saying, what nice stone!
see the photo. This photo is near William's Fountain.

Hey Evan, That's a nice pile of Texas Chert.

I'm in Houston and there are literally tons of that stuff laying around. I have a neighbor down the street with a garden paved with it and I pass by it every morning on our dog walk.

I'm constantly scanning it for... "anything".

I even pick one up from time to time but haven't found anything yet.
