content: MKP-6 (Mississippian Keokuk Prior Aggregate, Variety 6): MK Prior Aggregate, Variety 6. Mayes Co. OK. A cream to tan colored ground is thickly spotted with dark oval spots and (sometimes) thin irregular lines. Wavy fern-like structures are irregularly spaced in most samples. These are usually associated with the Reeds Spring further east in northwest Arkansas. However, this may be an example of Reeds Spring lithiology surviving into Keokuk times. Iron oxide often coats fracture surfaces. Workability is fair to good.

content: KEOKUK (Prior Aggregate). I am separating the Keokuk varieties found near Prior; OK. from those found elsewhere because the local geology in that area is far from clear. Some stone 'in areas which are designated Keokuk on the Oklahoma geological map has characteristics of upper Reeds Spring, while some of the chert suggests the Elsey (a term which has replaced the Grand Falls in Missouri).
