Also on "Mound "C, a little handful of quartz chunks (there were other chunks at the other end of the pile)On a separate pile (Mound C is in the background), was this pretty quartzite cobble: closer:Several smaller piles with notable quartz, dot the area:

    Impressive manitou stone. It appears to have a lot of quartz in it. Is it fairly thin?

    Maybe ~9 inches? Its height would be ~16 inches.
