Ok Kim, that's what I was wondering. π

I believe that is a color difference from the purity in the Chert. K

Hay Cramer that's a nice knife. The Chert is very much like what outcrops here in central Pa. Probably like Hoss said but we call it Penns Creek Chert. Almost Identical. K

It looks like a large knife blade form that has been well utilized.

In the first picture it looks like it has one fresh flake that has no patina near the tip. Maybe it's just a strip of different color. Nice knife. π

Though they may not be in your area, shows a strong resemblance to a Adena blade. Leaving some cortex on is a common traitβ¦.π

Onodaga Chert Blade: Flaki
This 5" x 2.5" piece was found near the Seneca River, in Onondaga County, NY, and given to me a few years ago by the Old Time collector who wanted to stimulate my interest in NA artifact collecting. (...it worked..) At first I thought it was 'just a pre-form', but now that I notice the amount of flaking that went into it and the resulting sharp edges, I am thinking it is a finished tool. Would you agree?
And, does the flaking pattern on this piece reveal anything about its age? Thanks!4 PhotosTags: None
