Found some chert ?
CHUCKER:
Well after looking off & on for 3 weeks I think I found some Vermont chert! I have learned alot from all the reading & research plus all the rocks I've busted open. I am posting a photo I took last night, the photo quality is not the best but I hope you kind folks can help verify my find.

jamie:
looks similar to the normanskill i find in new york. actually looks alot like eopus from southern new york. where abouts did you find it?
billy:
Yeah Chucker, looks like chert to me, or possibly some type of fine grained rhyolite. It obviously chips like chert, so I'd say make some points out of it and smash a deer with it. It's hunting season!
CHUCKER:
Billy! I am afraid I have been hunting stone more then deer. When I get on a trail, well you know.
Jamie! It came from the shore Lake Champlain Just north of Burlington. Actually about 6" under water. The top end had been polished by ice and wave action. In the afternoon sun it drew my eye right to it.

CHUCKER - Looks like it aught to work to me, though I have no idea what it is. All ya can do is hit it and see. What's the water temp up there right now? Brrrrrrrrrrrr :-X :-X.
