Title: Missouri to Utah...Any Rock?
Post by: bowtarist on July 31, 2012, 08:16:42 pm

I have a Buddy from MO who is trying to find me some workable rock.  He's right there in the center somewhere.  He spoke of a Missouri ryolite and a Mozinite(sp) that's around?  He thought the latter would be good cuz he'd found artifacts made from it.  What other rock is in MO?

He is also taking a trip to Utah via South Dakota and Montana if there is any knappables in the area I'd appreciate a heads up.  This guy is a big rock hound and really enjoys finding it.  He's not a knapper, but I gave him a point that he watched me make if June @ the UWC. 

Hope to get some answers in the next couple of days.  Thanks ya'll, dpgratz

A friend of mine went to visit his sister in MO.. He brought back some flint from his sisters place. He wanted to know if it was any good. I told him it looks like cobden to me & I'd take all she had.
