Help Identifying Rock

(1/2) > >>

CDC1911:
Hello folks! I picked up this rock recently and I need help identify what it is and does it need heat treating. I am just starting out so any help would much appreciated.

Thanks!

Cd, just a quick guess with little info from where your located, I'm going to say looks like a Texas Amoeba type rock, some nee4d heat and some can be knapped raw. We have some Texas knapper on here that will probably be able to help ya a little more, That's my .02 worth :o Bob

JEB:
+2 on Texas rock. I'm out here now gathering stray rock.

mullet:
Looks like Texas tab to me.

CDC1911:
Thanks everyone for the replies. I am in North Florida and I got the rock from a guy selling knapping supplies and he might have told me but I don't remember. I know so little at this point it probably would not have mattered if he did tell me. I am have trouble with it and was wondering if heat treating it would help.
