Auspex Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Yup, gorgeous! Good chance that the material was heat-treated before knapping?

PrehistoricFlorida Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Yup, gorgeous! Good chance that the material was heat-treated before knapping? Yes, all were heat-treated.

WILDKYLE Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Ive heard of them from Ga.If you want the info,I'll dig through the clutter and hunt for it. There are definitely coral points in Georgia. At least in South Georgia. I find a lot of flaked pieces of agatized coral while I'm looking for arrowheads here. (: Fossil hunting from dawn til' dusk!
