content: DF-1 (Devonian Fortune Variety 1): The Fortune formation is found only in Barry Co., MO. The light gray to light tan field has distinct to faint brown to gray streaks crossing it. Very tiny dark spots are usually shown (when viewed at 20 X)to be minute crystal filled vugs. Very tiny silica grains glisten distinctly at 20X. Texture varies from coarse to medium and the surface is gritty; however, knappability varies from fair to good. This chert was used quite a bit locally near Cassville, MO.
