Workin down south around San Antone again - just had to check that creek out ;D. The farmer said I could clean all the rocks out of his field for about a month if I wanted to, but I didn't hehe. Anywho, you can't really see flint in the pic but it's there, just gotta see through the cortex. I squatted the ole 3/4 ton and went home with it.
Picked out a likely victim and went to work. Was a good peice, and is now a bunch of good peices ;D. Got the core just about to the pressure flake stage and got tangled up with some of that TX concrete - oh well an arrow head and a blade are better than one big blade I reckon ;).

Good looking rock. I thought that was an essential part of making big blades ;D Seems like I do that more often than not on ones that size. >:(
-
Dang that stuff is hard. I don't know how you guys use it. Justin

Cowboy thats nice stuff! If I had that much maybe even I could some day make a point!! :) Wife & I once visited Fort Richardson Off RT380 In Texas. Simular rocks there but had to fly home next day. You got to love them Texas washes!
-
Yea, that's purty standard procedure to not make any real big one's ;D. I gotta work on those isolation's a little more.
Hey Chucker, you were near my old stompin grounds at Fort Richardson. It's actually on Hwy 199 in Jacksboro - 380 runs into it coupla miles down. Don't think theirs any flint around there, just a lot of limestone - but theirs points around, they had to find it somewhere.....
