It doesn't look anything like volcanic glass. It looks more like a basalt. Neither of which would have been found in any of the areas that you are talking about the "Cherocavemen" using it. I've looking in several anthropology texts that I have access to and I have found absolutely no reference to anything called a "frog knife." I am thinking that either someone is pulling your leg or it is a super secret conspiracy to not let us know about the existence of the frog people.

She tried to surmise the species and geographic location . It was determined that it resembled the common Bull frog.

Hey Stones Dude....I gotta ask......how many times are you going to post that same picture of your grill?

As many times as he want, (I can even smell it) man all I had to was a cold B-Mac

I dont mind feeding hungry Bears and Wolves, however i will include a variety menu in the future,my friends are worth that

This is something that I dont show off often... A set of Iron Axes

They were snapped into shape, not ground or hammered, that makes them extreemly nice

Were they found together? If so I would say steel pole and a wedge. Picture is not real clear, but that is what it looks like to me.

I enhanced the picture and to my surprise there are two objects in it that look like they could have been tools at one time.

I found Both of them togather very near to where the The ADAMS Glass works was First housed in Boston Mass.

Any idea of their age?

Simular to the natural High ferrous iron, but in Boston ,my "QUESS" is 1509 manufacture date.

We find things like that around here often, not to bust your bubble, but they are in the range of 100-150 years old. I found a couple while doing some excavating last year. They were used to split wood, I have on of the steel poles in the basement now which I use all the time.

Tools of these types are hard to date, correctly said, most are not more than a hundred years old. And also feerous materials like iron, copper,ect.. decay like wood does so the realy old ones are rare to survive long term exposure to moist acrid soils. I am trying to put togather a better picture of (the preserved Zones) where artifacts last longer than others. I am trying to understand how Native people wrere aware of places where things last.
