So I’m going to be doing a series that includes lithics, shell and pottery..Without going into details I have access back into our house where the rest of our collection was stored...I expect the storm to pass tonight, I’m staying here because I have a generax, generator, Harley Davidson motorcycle engIne, runs on propane..if stuff gets bad everybody comes here, I can’t get away..Lol.
So first sketch is what this fossil coral piece looked like. Shortly after I found it I took a couple of slabs off it and traded the rest...These are the natural colors.....Pic.2, X areas would be where a knapper would run into problems, a flaw in the rock called concrete ( short for concretions )....Pic.3,The swirls would be from a vantage point of looking down on the head as it grew on the reef..This piece was broken off during some cataclysmic event an as time passed the cortex developed ( deterioration ).pic 4.
I hope this short instructional will help someone understand a little better what part of coral the ole boys prized and where all those opaque points came from . ..not edited.,Thanks for lookin
