content: MRS-18 (Mississippian Reed Springs, Variety 18): MRS Variety l8. Found in NW AR. & NE OK. A medium gritty textured medium gray chert which features some darker gray spots and streaks, especially near the margin of a bedding plane. Literally hundreds of minute silica particles glisten in the sunlight. At 20 X they are seen to be very thick in the field as are minute dark spots. Glistening silica can be seen on weathered surfaces too. Works well.
