Flintknappingdom's most honest and heavily banned flintknapper at work.  Lol!

















Nice color, but too many inclusions....










Here is some of the stone, subsequently worked, in a raw state:

Thanks to the Altun Ha ruins, this chert run was probably one of the most enjoyable that I have ever undertaken!

Thanks for the pictures, very cool to see, love the eccentrics and blades. As for the chert run, wow! You got some nice pieces. I especially like the dark/red/banded variety. What's the name of that chert? Wouldn't mind to have lots of that.

bowmo:
Super cool. Could not believe the size of those pieces once you put your hand in there for perspective. Truly nuts. Killer looking chert too.

JW_Halverson:
It would be interesting to watch some folks work on reproducing some of those very large eccentrics! 

nclonghunter:
WOW! Thanks for the photos. I had no idea those pieces were that big until you added your hand for comparison...amazing

That rock reminds me of "Mook"  or something like that. Must be nice to just drive down the road and pick up good rock...LOL
