Nice chase on those elk, damn son! Thought you might bust out an atlatl and take one down!! :) Cool quartzite , there's a quarry near my house that Natives have used for thousands of years....hard, durable material. Thanks for postin' up!

@touchnova

thanks (posting is my pleasure)

does the quartzite in the quarry near your house also splits into flakes by itslef (without human intervention) ?

[touchnova]

@freejutube To some degree, but there was A LOT of human activity at the local quarry for many, many generations, so it's not as common as the knapped/worked material. I'll send you a vid I made last year so you can take a look. :)

@touchnova

great !

[touchnova]

@freejutube By the way...I called them 'elk'...but what are those critters? Look more to be large deer of some kind. Thanks!

@touchnova

yes, these are red deers ("cervus elaphus") i think ;

you can see them a bit better in the video "5 bucks - pursuit ..."

Looks like some sort of Quartzite, endless varieties are out there though. Very cool!
