content: OG-2 Ordovician Gasconade, Variety 2, Oolitic: Rounded oolites protrude from some weathered surfaces and look like small marbles at 10 X. In the light and dark gray areas, where the oolites are well cemented and flaked, they stand out as dark circles in a lighter silicious ground. On some weathered examples, the fractured oolites are represented by small pits (looks like a lunar landscape at 30 X). Workability. is only fair. Gasconade cherts are common in the Lake of the Ozarks area of central Missouri, in Pulaski County, and in Shannon, Reynolds, Dent & Crawford Counties. They are widely scattered in southeast Missouri.
