I've been hiking through the woods all i found was gabbro

From the air it looks like a green maze of hills and hollows, cut in half by the broad Cumberland River. The county is situated on Tennessee's Eastern Highland Rim, a ring of limestone hills surrounding the Nashville Basin, resistant to erosional forces because of their chert-rich layers. Chert, commonly known as flint, often occurs in round nodules that weather out of road cuts and stream banks. For more than a century in Clay County, this flint has been collected as the ideal material for making marbles." http://www.pbs.org/riverofsong/music/e3-rolley.html Dustin

I was curious if anyone every visited the Vulcan Industries site in Parsons.. There is a rock boulder ledge around what I remember being the western edge of the quarry with decaying limestone , There are huge pieces or slabs of wholle crinoid fossil plants .. stems , and tops and everything. I used to go there and they are free for the taking around the quarry .The boulders were put there to keep people from falling into the pit but they are crumbling away and with them whole fossils.. I would gladly pay for a sheet of crinoid stems and especially the ones that have the tops of the plants on them , if anyone would care to take a look around there. I can't travel very well anymore therefore I doubt ill ever get to go back there again. I miss hunting there and I know this is probably out of place in this forum but everyone keeps mentioning tennessee. and especially around Camden.. So I thought I would ask.. if interested please message me.Thanks Michael

A large alignment of rock from the stone quarry now occupies the turnoff area (it will be an interpretive marker for the Old Spanish Trail).

Ask for flint or chert, You can have as much as you want....They said, they have people coming from TX to get it also..If that's you, then shame on you for not sharing! Boulders as big as cars.....I'll get some pics up later... The more I think about it it could be Daleville....let me call and get a confirmation...

"PALEOINDIAN LIFE IN THE CHESAPEAKE REGION" http://www.nps.gov/chal/sp/jcbchp2.pdf "They gathered smoothed river cobblestones for quartz and mined a hard, flint-like, glassy surfaced stone called chert from outcrops at places such as the Martin site in Virginia" Dustin
