I found an ancient site [not sure if Ancient is the correct word] of production of stone tools. Every step I take is full of rocks that have been worked. But I also found this Agate nodule or I think it is. Thanks for any help. Also a few photos of the worked rocks. Its appx 5 inches long by the same wide.

All the rocks in the photo minus the agate are worked by humans. The one thin scraper is a tool Its worked on both sides and sharp all round. It could also be a knife or cutting tool. Its not cast off that is for sure.

I see some banding of colors I'm going to say agate.

Absolutely none of the rocks shown have visible evidence of being worked or shaped by humans. Most are very similar in appearance to the flint and chert common in central Texas.

That is total BS. You obviously don't know what you are talking about.

Here is a video with someone who clearly knows what they are talking about to educate Galenrog.
The very first photo clearly shows a tool that was worked on all sides. the scaring from flaking is so obvious even a cave man could tell. Like Al Green. LOL.
Here are some photos of the artifacts on a one by one basis. I will admit that showing a photo of a group of rocks can be difficult to tell a lot. So here are some of what I have found on a one by one basis. Also I am showing the best of what I found.
Also here is a diagram of how flakes and cores and artifacts progress for your education.
All the photos of artifacts were found in the same area as all the stones I have shown.
