No heating from me and I guess no human heating at all
Outbackbob48:
Glis, I guess I said that wrong , photo rock brittle 01 is the one that looks potlidded from heat, maybe forest fires from long ago or whatever, but looks exactly like when I have overheated that same type of flint. :'( Bob
GlisGlis:
oh yes I see
anyway I think I start to figure out the spalling thing and made new tools today (nice ishi stick and a new bopper)
the one I named plumcolor was pretty good
Now need new rocks.... :-K many tons :OK
bjrogg:
GlisGlis I like your determination. I have much the same aditude, especially when I started. I have bought and traded some rock to though. Really I'm glad I did but also glad I pounded on that tough stuff. I really have a special spot for the tough local stuff.

GlisGlis:
Had a second batch from the same place. Better stuff this time.
also found some fossils
made a small kinfe out of a easter chocolate flint block.
I'm still a very casual knapper. :-K
I was tempted to write in the "I suck at this " thread
One of the biggest issue I find is to deal with big squared roks.
I always end up introducing big fractures and hinges before i can set a decent bevel
