Ironically, a bird hunting friend who lives up here in the summer just stopped by. I asked him about Kineo flint and he said its not really flint at all, but Ryolite. The Indians used it for all their tools just as they would flint.
My friend actually lives in Baltimore and just retired Professor Emeritus, head of earth science at Johns Hopkins. He may be a PGCA member soon.
