  • You can't judge a stone by it's cover!

    Looking at some of the broken open cores that I've found I was struck by the nice material inside as opposed to the weathered patina on the outside rind. The first 5 pictures are all from a small coastal site where the N/A's were gathering glacial cobbles and working them down. Most are felsite or rhyolites and one is a quartz cobble. The 6th pic is of a biface from Texas that still has some of the limestone cortex on a beautiful brown flint. The last pic is of a tiny Central Mass Lamoka pebble industry point showing the cortext on the base of the point.

        I didn't tan that deer hide myself, it was given to me. It does make for a great background.

          Yeah I have been rather surprised myself by just how nice some of the rocks look once the outer core is removed...and just how thin some outer cores are also...
