content: Plum Run Chert, also known as Vanport, is a very fine to glossy chert. It is gray, blue-gray, dark-gray, mottled blu-gray, dull brown, tan, tints of soft pink, mauve, or yellow in color. When weathered it becomes whitish yellow and pinkish yellow, often iron stained tan, brown, red, or orange. It has very fine pyrite inclusions that appear black. These could be mistaken for carbonaceous material. Deposits include residuum.
