Another type for consideration could be Big Slough imo.
On the material i think pictures in natural lighting would help show the true color better... Although it still may remain a mystery. In that case black chert would be sufficient I think. Cool partial chuck!Josh (Ky/Tn collector)

Per Josh's recommendation, I'm re-posting the point base but with photos taken under natural light. I don't believe I've seen this point under natural light since I found it way back when. It sure looked black under house lighting but now it's quite a different color. Looks kinda blue-grey
I don't know how many times I've given other people advice about taking pictures in natural daylight for better representation of the artifact. Guess I was just in a hurry and didn't want to wait until daylight to post. So here they be. ...ChuckPickett/Fentress County, Tn - Any day on this side of the grass is a good day. -Chuck-

Blue & Grey fossiliferous chert similar to Harrosburg Chert Chuck. Look at all those tiny fossils! Awesome! Would be cool to see under magnification.Josh (Ky/Tn collector)

Wish I had the capability to photo graph with a microscope to get a closer look. I've got a few lens adapters that increase magnification - maybe I'll try them and see if it makes a difference. Never heard of such a lithic. Is it common to our area Josh??

I don't think what you have is Harrodsburg Chert just similar to it. Its definitely Fossiliferous though, I actually found some examples that were close to what you have that vie found in both Tennessee and Kentucky. I will post pics here soon.

Just for grins and giggles - I'm posting these for Josh and any other interested collectors. I attempted to magnify the base on this point to where we could see more detail by using macro lens.
This is what I came up with. Unfortunately the focal point is the main place where the detail is most visible and it's a really small point. But you can get the idea. I'd really like to see this under a microscope and see what all that material really looks like. Still - there's plenty of detail here just not enough to satisfy my curiosity. ...ChuckPickett/Fentress County, Tn - Any day on this side of the grass is a good day. -Chuck-
