9 Flint is also called chert by geologists. Flint is a microcrystalline rock made of silica. Flint begins as deposited [[chalk>>url:https://terrapedia.terraindex.com/index.php?title=Chalk&action=edit&redlink=1]] and due to expose to water it changes the carbonate-particles into silica-particles. Flint is often found banded in between two limestone layers. Chert breaks with a conchoidal fracture which means that it produces sharp edges and is therefor often used for sharp tools.
