content: L-1566 (Tripoli Decomposed Limestone & Chert): Limestone & Dolomite glacial pebble from the Lockport Formation, Niagara County. The surface of the ground in this area is covered with glacial deposits of gravel. Collected this particular example of Tripoli because it is a fine, typical specimen of Carbonate Rock & chert disintegration. Prehistoric artifacts of this material are scarce in western NY. Frequently found artifacts at the Conrail site near Wilkes-Barre, PA, on the north branch of the Susquehanna River. It's a matter of which came first: the forming of the artifact before or after decomposition?
