Singing as he crawls around on the ground looking for rocks.
I was going to show pics of my toma-toad but not now. Too scared.
I'm still trying to figure out the answer of his experts, "The Natural Science Community, and other Archeology Interests", that check out his personal rocks and stones, do all research, the time and date testing (ALL VERY EXPENSIVE) to give him these dates he's stating? Let alone what they are! :rolleyes:
klkak, Without knowing the context in which it was found or where i can only give my opinion. It looks like a metate but it smaller then what i have seen in the southwest where i live. But it may have been small to be portable. In the southwest people usually just used large boulders and you can still find these metate stones in many places. will try to post pics tonight.
The tool is 4 inches long and 2.75 inches wide and .75 inches thick its composition is Fiberous Volcanic Glass
I'm not doubting the voracity of your claims, but it still looks like a rock to me.
You should have told us it was a piece of glass in the first place. That explains everything. Now we know its not just a rock.Quote:

IT is a rock, just heated up, The resulting stone is like onyx
Black and shiny
Well then, it's still ok to throw it.
OH, so it's a gemstone! Maybe you found the ring that Fred gave Wilma!Quote:

I picked up a bomerang once. Threw it as hard as I could. It didn't come back. I guess it was just a stick.
That is one of the "Modern" uses for this same stone, Its very Black and will take a mirror finnishQuote:

I went TDY to Australia once. I bought a genuine boomerang and promptly started practicing with it. For a few days it wasn't safe to go outside. Then one day the deployment OIC took it away from me. Said we weren't authorized to carry weapons on this deployment. I tried to argue that it wasn't a weapon but kinda like a one man Frisbee. He didn't buy it so I had to give it up and find something else to do.
No.... It's Fiberous Volcanic Glass :rolleyes:Quote:

So rock has gone from being a "Frog knife" , used to cut grass, to a Fibrous Volcanic Glass.....now I am truly lost, and to me it still looks like a rock.....
You left out it being used to cut and Knapp bone!Quote:

Does that help? (= glass)
Now that is funny... ;)Quote:

Thanks GW, I'm beginning to understand. I may be slow but I eventually catch on.Quote:

That was hilarious GW!!!!!!!! ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!!
That was a good one GW.
Its more than just a broken rock too, its been sculpted and used for a purpose. I am getting closer to understanding it better my self. Thanks alot everybody.
It is a rock with a sharp edge and a purpose. I kida see how it could be used for something. Maybe for sharpening sticks.
sorry, i have been having a problem uploading pictures, i only manged to get one to upload on picture album on my bio page. Its a point i found while doing a survey with the National Forest Service. But at least you can see the fine serrations on the edges. which is the same as a cutting tool used for cutting grass or skinning. If i can get it to upload i have a picture of a multi purpose cutting tool i found on the same trip.
I would realy like to see those,a lot of people hunt for arrow heads and spear heads,but knives and other tools are what I look forQuote:
