✅ SOLVED pretty scrapers

[larson1951]

i had 3 of these and gave one to a good friend
we are trying to figure out what material it is?
maybe i should post this on the rock forum

 

[outlawatheart]

wow can't wait to find out what that stuff is. Can you imagine a point in that material!

Incredible! Those streaks running through reall give them character. I will go through some of mine for anything similar, and go through Jeb Taylors book again. He shows lots of high plains materials in there.

You forgot to say where they are from. If you put them in the rock forum they will want you to crack one open. I never do if I think its a artifact. Anyway they are really nice with color.

May be right I had never heard of zebra flint tell now.I'm just a coastal boy myself.We don't see all the pretty colored stones here like that.But did look it up & it looks close too.I had some opalized wood here I had found & that's what came across my mine first.Anyway in my research on it came across this site that might help others on here with some of the types of material.

More then welcome. it was just something I came across searching.What was neat to me was that how much some of the points on the west coast look like in shape & style to points I find here.But as said we just don't have the fancy material here for the native's to have worked with.Even worst here on the coast as they become worn so bad from water & sand washing around so much.Really works on the edgeing of a piece.Anyway I hope to get back at it myself been laid up for awhile now with a blown disc getting epidurial injections.Have done a couple hunts with the MD on some colonial sites. Just not posted had not really felt like it.I'm ready to check some of my indian sites.

I found a piece this weekend that was black, but had that white/grey color on top. I'm in Tennessee. I'll try to post a pic.

Cool Finds! They kind of resemble material that is found in the Big Horn, and Pryor Mts.

ahhh old digger you bring back fond memories of the Bighorn River and its wonderful bounty of fat rainbows and browns.I fished it in the eighties and ive never fished a river like it since.We used to take some of our catch and have it smoked for twenty cents a lb.in billings at a meatlocker smokehouse.

Well, you can still fish for them, if you can catch them.
