stickbender:
Well that pretty much rules out Obsidian. ;) It could be the black Noviculite, which demands high prices from the Arkansas stone manufactures.
mullet:
I don't know but like what I see where you took the flakes off.
Dalton Knapper:
I am not sure geoloigically where it exists. I know there is nome in North Arkansas, so I will guess Pitkin Chert. If you break off a healthy flake, smell it and it smells sulphurous, or like burnt motor oil, that would confirm the guess.
dmathis992:
ok cool ill check it in a while but I found a lot of it but very small pieces all extremely straight without any type of knapping. After I took a flake off I wanted to get an I'd and keep it for examples to find larger pieces
TRACY:
Looks like a chunk of slag from glass furnace. Are you downstream or near any industrial sites? I'm with mullet, flakes look good, get more and make some points.
