content: MKP-1 (Mississippian Keokuk Prior Aggregate, Variety 1): Keokuk, Prior Aggregate Var. 1. Found in Mayes Co., OK. This chert is a medium blue gray variety with light gray to cream, colored areas in the field. Many tiny dark spots are peppered thickly throughout the chert. On some examples small chalky dark gray spots are surrounded by a thin lighter zone. This variety resembles some MRS chert further east, but the geological map shows it Keokuk. It knaps well.

content: KEOKUK (Prior Aggregate). I am separating the Keokuk varieties found near Prior; OK. from those found elsewhere because the local geology in that area is far from clear. Some stone 'in areas which are designated Keokuk on the Oklahoma geological map has characteristics of upper Reeds Spring, while some of the chert suggests the Elsey (a term which has replaced the Grand Falls in Missouri).
