Thanks! Your response led me here:
13,000 years ago, Alibates was well-known by mammoth hunters as a source of flint for tools. The colorful flint has never lost its value or usefulness in the Texas Panhandle. Learn how important this site was to the survival, commerce, and culture of the people of the High Plains.
I was not aware of this quarry monument. Pretty cool.
