content: Vanport Chert, also known as Flint Ridge (OH), is smooth chert. It is every natural color and countless combinations, but black in uncommon. Thermal alteration does not produce the color green. Heat-treated specimens are hard to identify, but usually become more glossy than raw material. When weathered the surfaces become more dull. It has numerous fossil inclusions. Deposits include limestone matrix.
