Chert??

(1/1)

Stalkingfox:
I live in Iowa and remember reading somewhere that Iowa flint was black in color and thought this stuff may be Chert?

mullet:
Looks like slate, basalt or neiss. Not sure about the spelling. James Parker rock.

Stalkingfox:
It doesn't make a good sound, I'm trying hard to search for a good source. It sounds like rock, not glass like.

Zuma:
You need to smack it. A copper hammer is best. If it shatters or crumbles move on.
Do you know what conchodal fracture looks like?
