Looks like a candidate for the Dead Parrot Sketch, Charlie!
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

Charlie, I really enjoy your posts, it's nice to see someone so enthusiastic. Personally I am hoping for the earliest dates to be proven as fact. That said, I don't know nothin' bout rocks. It is a sad fact, but a rock looks like a rock to me. Some are prettier than others. I am afraid that if I tripped over a Pre-clovis point...I'd just cut my foot. Now all ya'll don't make fun of me or try and teach me about rocks.(My Grandpa nearly had an apoplexy when I couldn't tell which tribe made which arrowhead even after he explained the differences to me) I have nothing practical to contribute, so will keep my mouth shut hereafter. Just wanted you to know I was rootin' for ya.
On a sidebar, has anyone else checked out the website for our latest UK member, Manystones? There are pictures of possible Paleolithic rock art.

It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

You know what, Star? I used to have the same feeling about Charlie's rocks but after a while you can start to see where an edge has been worked by man and where nature has done its work alone.
Solutrean Point.
After a while you can start to see where the knappers have been doing their thing.
Two projectile points, a Clovis (right) and a Folsom (left), excavated from Blackwater Draw.

Okay min, now you're starting to sound like my Grandpa.
I agree the rocks look worked, but for all I can tell aliens did it (and I don't believe in them) That was all I meant, I really wouldn't know a pre-Clovis point if it bit me in the a...

I am willing to believe that a lot of charlies rocks are worked, based on looking over my collection here.
I am sure a geologist will contradict me, but I seems to me that old rocks tend to weather and get smoother over thousands of years, rather than get lots of little nicks along the edges. I mean flint, chert, & other "tooly" rocks.
If they are in running water, they get rounded off, and if they are in the soil, they are pretty much preserved as is
(witness those beautiful clovis and solutrean points posted by Minimalist.)
However, those darn preclovisites didn't seem to have much on the ball, based on the crudeness of their technology.
That tells me that they might be MUCH older than 13000BC.
