Very cool tica.

My MS Stonehenge

Cool looking petrified wood. The injuns made tools out of petrified wood.

You can even see the wood grain in some petrified wood arrowheads


Coolest stuff I think is the agatized coral that the Florida ancients used to make arrowheads. Very translucent and you can see the six sided coral polyps in the ancient coral

That is the coolest point I have ever seen (bottom)

by far the coolest one I have ever seen too....had no idea they made them out of coral

Florida agatized coral is just ancient petrified coral. Break the old coral heads and the stuff inside is sharp as glass and great for making tools.



We have some river cobbles over here in north AL called horse creek chert. Beautiful stuff. I have never found a complete arrowhead made out of it.
Horse Creek Chert points



Raw horse creek chert cobbles broken open:

Some other types of material used in tool making:

Mozarkite from Missouri


Mahogany obsidian from Cali


Clear quartz


Rhyolite from North Carolina


Coastal Plain Chert southeast US coastal areas


Tallahatta quartzite (South Alabama/Mississippi)


Buffalo river chert from Tennessee


Fort Payne Chert from Alabama and Tennessee


Jasper (north Mississippi/Alabama)


Some are made from Agate

I'm digging this thread. If I could find a creek here in Rankin County, I'd love to take a walk. Hell, I'd just like to find a gravel road for a Sunday drive.

a few from over the weekend

We are going back to the fossil park in Frankstown on Monday...nice rocks
