content: MP-4 (Mississippian Pierson, Variety 4): MP Variety 4. Found from Newton Co. AR. northward into Barry MO. A waxy, light honey colored to very light gray translucent chert. White calcitized crinoid detrius is usually present, but not abundant, and one or two specimens feature small reddish clay-like pellets in the translucent stone (visible at 10 X). Material collected from 3NW-1 was weathered and thus brittle. Hopefully I can find a location where this is not the case. I have seen dart points made from this material in Barry Co. MO. Workability of solid pieces is good.
