content: (Information obtained from Trent Valley Type Sheet) Trent Valley Chert is also known as Trent, Balsam Lake, or Balsam Lake Speckled. It is a blackish or bluish gray chert. When weathered it becomes a light yellow brown patina. It may have "pellet" inclusions, echinoderm, solitary coral, or brachiopod fragments replaced by light colored quartz. Uniformly dull to vitreous luster. It is discontinuously bedded. Chert lenses pinch and swell behind bedding planes of host rock. Deposits can be occasionally nodular.
