JEJ, I think it's more like a Chert but could be wrong. It has to be cooked. That blade started out over two inches thick and bigger than my hand.

It's common in Oklahoma and Kansas I believe.

Jim, Chief Dan George came to my elementary school and gave us a presentation and talk about Indian History and traditions etc. I loved it and he was just so cool. I'm 52 now and it's the only thing I remember much about those days. I use his great line from that movie all the time. "Endeaver to Persevere".
"Always feel the wind, and walk just like the leaves".  ("LongBow Country"--Chad Slagle, "High, Wild, and Free").

Jim, thanks for the info about the OK and KS chert. I have heard of something I think is called Kay County (?) flint from up your way. I'm in DFW area, and I usually am happy to get any of the Georgetown flint from about 200 miles south of here to knap. I have not got to the "point" of making those beautiful "thinning" flakes you guys who are so skilled can make. Sure is fun breaking rocks though. Keep up the good work! John    :thumbsup:

There is some nice flint called Perdenales from along the river by the same name. Down around Fredricksburg I believe.
