I would be guessing....but I think the North Canadian is the part running through Hutchison County and through to Oklahoma...I find all of my Flint in the Breaks...Canyons caused by the Canadian over the millennium...I get all kinds of Alibates mostly

there are deposits of novaculite in southeastern OK , but I 'm not sure exactly where. could be east of the Antlers area.
xin:
;you could save yourself some time and money if you ordered some novacullite (heat treated) from Dan' Whetstone. Good heat treated novaculite is beautiful and a lot easier to knap than Edwards Plateau chert. The idea of finding your own rock and heat treating it yourself haas a lot of fantasy appeal, but unless you have a job and truck that takes you areas with plentiful chert that can be picked up without being shot and a place to heat treat it with plentiful cheap fuel, its just a lot cheaper and easier to buy it. Also ;you're knapping and not wasting all your time looking for something to knap.

Thanks xin, I'll give them a shot. I hear treated navaculite knapps like "butter". I like looking for the stuff too. It's kind of like hunting for meat vs. buying it at the grocery store. ;D
