They are two different things. One is a length and the other is an area.
Are you trying to calculate something? Can you be more specific?

We wanted to do some Chilton stone (I think it may be called Fondulac stone in Wisc regardless) in the front yard and they only sell it 34sqft qtys.... so I was wondering what how many linear feet that would get us.
P.S. Stone the patio is on hold we have been getting soaked with rain .75 of an inch this morning and another 1+ tonight I have a tarp over the patio and a downspout going well beyond where the patio will lay,,,,,,,,,,,,,Iam still worried that once the aggergate is dug out and we start over that Iam going to run into extremely wet soil...... maybe I should just have him dig it out and then let it sit for a day or two ? anything to take into considertaion with all the rain the last week....... I know u guys have been getting alot as well

I don't know if the stone you're talking about is for a wall or walk/patio. Either way you need to figure out the square footage of the project first to see how many pallets of stone you need.
If the stone is generally used for walls that may be 34 square face feet. I would ask the supplier.

Chilton and Fond Du Lac stone refer to the areas in Wisconsin the limestone comes from - Fond Du Lac stone tends to have more whites and greys, while Chilton stone has more rust, red, orange and purple. Is this pavers you're talking about? If so, just find out what the dimensions of the stone are. You can get to lineal feet from there. If it's for a wall, I imagine they would sell by the ton, not the square foot (in the case of walls, it's more commonly referred to as 'face feet'). If it's walls, and it's 8" thick stone, you can usually get 11-13 face feet per ton. If it's tumbled pavers, they are most often 5"x5" around here - figure out the lineal feet you need, multiply by 12, then divide by 5 and you'll know the number of pieces you'll need.

I love the color of Chilton, but it can be harder to throw than Fond du Lac because the surface seems to have more undulations, and it also tends to be thicker and heavier. Still, it makes for a great looking patio, as I hope the below photo shows...

Perfect illustration!  I bet the piece that was atop the one in the last pic was also very cool.  Had one in my own yard that was the inverse of the one pictured - greens, blues and purples, and looked like a big, flat, stone brain.  |

Here is the front yard where I would like to put 2-3 courses of Fondualc stone ( I like the whiter/gray look better vs Chilton) The length is 30 linear feet........What Iam wondering is how much does 1 ton get me in linear feet????????
Would you use this stone any other suggestions I will be the filling it with mulch.
