What is a collective noun for chalk?

There isn't a widely recognized collective noun for chalk.

While you could use phrases like "a box of chalk" or "a set of chalk," there's no single word that specifically refers to a collection of chalk like "flock" for birds or "herd" for cattle.

It's possible to create a new collective noun, but it would be a more informal or whimsical usage. You might say something like:

* A cloud of chalk

* A dusting of chalk

* A swirl of chalk

Ultimately, the best way to refer to a collection of chalk depends on the context and the desired effect.
