453: Genuine blade core. Surface find. Private collection
454: Flint block found near Bergerac (France). Nearly a sphere, such a nodule will not be used due to its shape that prevents any flaking (no weak point in a spheroid).
455: Bergerac concentric flint nodule with manganese black inclusion
456: Perfect hertzian cone in a window glass, probably due to a hunter's bullet.
457: Type 4 danish dagger preform. It will be fully ground then pressure flaked.

462: Huge serpentine block, on the Atlantic shore of France. Neolithics used this soft greenish rock for polished axes.
463: Black flint nodule. Usually found in Normandie, this black flint was used to load the boats. It was found on an Atlantic shore, 600 km away from its source.
464: MArine flint nodules found in France on the Atlantic shore. Usually the size of a fist, their color range from black to cream or grey.
465: Marine flint nodules. Their soft shapes and the lack of cortex make them easy to spot on the shores. When banged with a hammerstone they reveal their true nature.
466: Detail of the characteristic surface of sea-flint nodules. Once identified, these marks make the flint nodules easy to spot on the sea shores.
467: Cutting arrow points. One is glued with birch tar, the other simply inserted in the arrow shaft.
