In an attempt to see some lithics I have picked up and maybe more common in Nebraskas heartland.
Please show me your artifacts made from, kinda like we did before. 41CFB84E-D597-48C1-A306-6DCCAD8E2376.jpeg E16FC77E-7708-4937-B1AF-B3ED86EE46E6.jpeg AFEF15F0-6E6A-4103-AF4F-781448F8914B.jpeg 5C064462-9AE1-4CEB-8739-DFFDBACFA251.jpeg

What you have there is Kansas Flint Hills Permian chert. The variety is call Florence D.
More examples from my neck of the woods.
We don't find much Florence D 11KBP but when we do it's always a treat. I've always liked finding any of the banded materials.

It is always fun finding different lithics from distant sources in the region you hunt.

I feel fortunate finding the attractive artifacts made of the colorful varieties of Smoky Hill
jasper sources found in your region. That material is very popular with most Plains collectors
