    X2. Doesn’t look like it will “flake” off like flint/chert rocks will, but still could have been put to other uses by those early, early Texans.

      When I hit them against each other the larger one flaked off leaving sharp edges.

      I’ll have to wait another day to scout that hill out some more.

        That’s the kind of rock they threw at the dog when he chewed up his favorite pair of moccasins.

          Could be obsidian. Post a photo of the struck piece

              When they ran out of arrows they could have chunked those rocks at something. Fjb
