Did you know that this type of stone was used to make arrowheads?

This 544 million-year-old rock is quartzite, a very hard stone used to make arrowheads by the local Nanticoke peoples. It came from Sugarloaf Mountain in Maryland's Monocacy Valley. It is one of four Cardinal Direction Markers around the museum.
