N.E. OKLA Scrapers ...

Hey all, Naturegirl and i were checking out a new to us creek this past weekend. I found these 2 small scrapers and was wondering what material they might be? The dark one looks black at first,but it's a really dark brown and has a translucence to it when held to the light. We thought it may be chalcedony? The other is more of a mottled gray/black color. Naturegirl thinks it's reed springs? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks for looking!

Nice little scraper! That one looks like it once had a graver.

Hey old digger, I think your right! The first one did have a graver spur! I am still unsure as to what material either are made. But, I really like finding them!

I don't know what the material is on the first one, but could the second scraper be Florence C chert? Nice finds Buckshot!

Hey Charmin, Thanks for info! That would be material more common to the area. Maybe i can find some more examples on the creek to compare.... Thanks again- buckshot

just one bump, then I'll leave it lay...but we really are curious about the material of the dark, translucent scraper...dacite? novaculite (the rootbeer variety?) prolly not obsidian? really curious !!!

Thanks!
