Finally!!! Someone who actually cares, and knows what they are talking about. Lol! Love you're videos and can't wait to see more. I'm from the foothills slash mountains of North Carolina and have been looking for stuff like this since I was a kid. I have some great finds over the years, but you are definitely teaching me more. Thanks again.
That pot lidding that you're talking about happens when your heat treating flints or cherts. when you bring the heat up too fast or bring it down too fast. It also happens if a point is laying on the surface and there is a brush fire. We find several points with the same characteristics inside of fire pits. You must also be a flint napper or you know one because you're exactly right. Another great video keep up the good work looking forward to seeing more. You can also do some heat treating on slates it turns a blue slate to almost a red. If you heat treat too fast, we call it blow your load. The flint,chert's breaks up and looks just like FCR. Especially if it has a lot of moisture in the Stone. Never ever pick up rocks out of a creek or a river to make a fire pit with for camping. The moisture in the Rock will make it explode. Always use rocks for a fire pit that you pick up on the surface . In fields they have less moisture. It lessens the chance of explosion. When I Arrowhead hunt there's two things I look for.FCR, flint or chert flakes. Then I know for sure I'm on the campsite. Hope you're having a great day

Very helpful
Conchoidal fracture instead of pot lidding....
just glue stones until to cover the whole planet earth.
