content: Warner Chert, also known as Cobble Chert, is a sedimentary chert. Color is highly variable, but mostly white (5Y 8/1) with light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4) and other shades of light brown near the cortex. Some medium light gray (N6) and pale yellowish brown (10YR 6/2) also noted. When heat-treated the chert becomes more knappable and becomes red and glossy. It has a coarse to fine grained texture and is opaque. It has a dull to slightly vitreous luster. It may have inclusions of bryozoans, crinoid fossil detritus, and crystal filled vugs or veins. Deposits include stream-tumbled cobbles in Warner Sandstone.
