At the end of August, we went to Morrow Mountain State Park for a homeschool field trip to look for ancient artifacts that the Native Americans left, such as arrowheads, stone drills, and stone spearpoints.
This picture shows rhyolite flakes. Flakes are bits of stone that the Native Americans chipped off when they were making arrow heads. Many Native Americans went to Morrow Mountain because it had a lot of rhyolite which is good stone to use to make arrow heads and other tools.
As we walked along this trail, we saw thousands of rhyolite flakes. Morrow Mountain itself is made of rhyolite. We climbed over huge boulders of this valuable material.
