No word on banding yet
The word is out
There are those that study / collect varieties of flint. As amber is reknown in the Baltic area so the banded flint of Poland is unique. Also high on the honerable mention list is Flint Ridge Ohio and Alibates quarry TX.
Complete identifiable inclusions in flint is very common, the banding itself is not the design of the creature...
Think of the best banded flint once being the consistency of toothpaste, slightly different densities will gel harder than the rest, and Like paint, outer areas will skim over first then subsequent movement will blend this into the main body...
The holy grail of flintery might be a complete Mossasaur in flint
Thanks for all the great information. I just hope after I have been digging for 30+ yrs I know half as much as you do my friend,

Nice comment, so why do I keep thinking " I didn't know that "
This review of flint has been a neat summary of whats involved when we admire a new find...
One of my favorites of the banding catagory is the few points found at the Juno site...Terrific contrast of pure white and gray/black
How's this for color...? Found by Eric at Comstock 7 / 21
