Cobden Cannonball Saga (Part 5 of 6)

My first time working Cobden chert from Iowa, also known as Cobden Cannonball chert (for good reason). A very nice stone, easy to work with natural tools, I’m pretty happy with the results overall, though there was a bit of a learning curve after working a lot of obsidian recently, especially getting used to that thick chalky cortex. Managed to get 5 nice points out of it, of different sizes and types, and a bunch of larger flakes I will work down in the future. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to try out new stone!
