Yep BJ, Chinese thunder chert.
Most stuff I work on aint labeled like that
Tower, That is why I will never go to Antarctica if I can help it. They are not stoned up there I guess is the only good way I can see to look at that without being negative about it.
Maybe get bjrogg to go up there over the weekend with one of his tractors and dig you some up. Should be easy enough
mullet:
The stone is there, ya just have to work a little harder to get it.
Tower:
That’s a long drive there. I hope his tractor has a large fuel tank.

It's got a pretty big fuel tank, but it doesn't float so good.lol. Maybe if you took a hot water power washer there you could tunnel your way to the stone. I remember seeing a magazine article where they recovered a P-38 from world war 2. The crew had made a emergency landing on a glacier I believe. The people doing the recovery thought it would be simple. Just find it fuel it up a little service work and fly it away. Ended up it was buried under something like 200' of snow. They used a hot water power washer to get down to it. The plane had lots of damage from being crushed by the snow. They did recover it one piece at a time. I don't know if they ever got it flying again.

That aircraft had a Discovery channel episode made on it and yes, she flies. Her name is Glacier Girl, and it's an amazing story.
