content: MRS-21 (Mississippian Reed Springs, Variety 21): Christian Co. MO. A very light gray medium textured chert features few to many fine silica particles (visible at 10X) and white crinoid fragments sparsely scattered throughout the chert. While common in Compton & Pierson chert, the presence of crinoid detrius is rather rare in Reeds Spring cherts. Straight to wavy lines of slightly darker silica cross some specimens. Faint mottling of two shades of very light gray is sometimes observed, and faint bluish patches are sometimes present. Workability good to fine.
