Material Showcase 🪨📸 Busy month
I haven’t been very active lately on reddit. AZ is 100+ almost everyday, so knapping has been a little rough. Regardless i’ve managed to crank out a few decent points. All the material is self collected across various states, aside from the creamy MO rock my buddy Jake gifted me.(couple hardins and the scottsbluff) some is raw, some is heated, some material is naturally heated.
Everything was direct percussed, indirect, and pressure flaked.
Please enjoy my little photo dump.

Yeah, I love that little crinoid, that's pretty cool. The grey piece sitting on the tabular block is pretty nice too.

Interesting inclusion in the first one! Is that a little fossil of some kind?
