    Jefferson City Chert Point

    This stone was not easy to knap but I did manage to finish a point.

          Hey Joshua, I only had three spalls and I didn't cook it. That stone does need some heat.

                    Hey JJ, I was thinking Hell Gap.

                  It is tough to knap. I find it to be quite crumbly

                    There is some chert that is local to my area that comes out of the Everton formation that looks beautiful but it has been so pressurized that it just falls apart when you strike it. I'd send you some but you'd probably cuss me for it, lol. We also have some black chert that is some sort of fossilized marine life, it looks real nice but it likes to step. Everytime I come across it I wonder if you could work it. I've never found anything made from it.

                    Hey Andrew, You can bet the ancient people knew what to use: They sampled everything and used what worked.

                    That is for sure. The Everton chert isn't to bad if you can find a nice piece of it. I know they used it to some extent
