[edit] Flint in north america
Flint occurs quite often in North America. Do we have a source for that comment?
- Do we need one? The American indians seemed to have little trouble finding it - 90 percent of their arrowheads are flint, at least in the northeast US. I used to live near the Onandaga limestone outcrop, and flint was as hard to find as sand at the beach. PAR 15:46, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
There is a park in Ohio, near Neward, called Flint Ridge where american indians mined flint. The pits are still in existence. I'm also aware of Indians mining flint in Wisconson, but don't know the exact site. A link to an Ohio website on this follows: http://www.ohiohistory.org/places/flint/
