Hello everyone,
I am going to admit up front that, I joined the forum to find out anything I can about this rock. I live about 11 miles from the town of McCormick SC, in the Sumpter National Forest. I find broken and whole arrowheads made from red chert and yellow chert. We have always just called it flint rock. I have never found a flint deposit anywhere around here. Walking my property, I saw the red side out of the ground and noticed that it looks like blanks had been flaked off it. I dug it up so I could put it in a rock border. This rock is weird. First, it weighs approx, 95 pounds. It seems half of it is red flint and the other half beige but, amongst all that, there are pockets of loose clay like dirt and pockets of small white crystals. It's like I interrupted the evolution of this rock.
I hope I can benefit from yalls collective knowledge.
