Had the thought strike me that a lot of folks probably don’t know what Alabama coastal plains chert looks like cooked. This is an example of some that had more white color raw.

Made With Traditional Tools🪨 Plains Tri-notch

I made this Plains tri-notch point from a piece of silicified sandstone/orthoquartzite, originating somewhere from Wyoming I believe. These were small arrow points used during the Late Prehistoric period in the northern Great Plains of North America.

Something I've been intending to do and been putting off until my skill increased.

A gift for my dad. A lifelong fisherman. I had been saving this material specifically for this. I've got a few flakes leftover that might be further workable. I'll probably go over it one more time real delicately just to work off any stray sharp spots in the tail.

I'm real proud of myself for this one. A real milestone for me.

This was a flake from that blue Flintridge tab Gulf coast knapping worked about a month back. I got all those flakes from him and plan to do a frame of mini points. Alot of the color worked out of this due to the size.

Question 🤔❓ A flintknapped bear

Upvotes

Not too long ago I saw an image of a flintknapped bear and it has stayed in my mind ever since. It was so beautiful and reminiscent of the cave paintings of bears (iykyk). I have since lost it but I am desperate to find it, or at least another flintknapped bear, because whenever I search for one I find nothing. If you have knapped a little bear, please show me! It might be what I’m looking for :)

Question 🤔❓ How can I break this peice?

I've been trying for a weeks now and it just hasn't been working. Granted I don't have very large tools, so maybe that's it. Every time I try to get a hammerstone the hammerstone breaks. So how can I open the invincible flint?

Howdy y'all! 👋😁

I don't usually upload videos here so this is kind of a little fun thing for me. Wanted to show off some of these cool fossils I found while bi-facing a big hunk of Burlington and some crumbly coastal plains. Hopefully y'all think that it's cool!

Check out my YouTube if you wanna see more of my content

Stay safe and happy knapping! 😎
