content: MRS-9 (Mississippian Reed Springs, Variety 9): MRS Variety 9. Noted in NW AR. & NE OK. This is a mottled dark gray and tan chert. The dark gray areas are vitreous and fine textured, while the tan areas vary from medium to coarse in texture. Narrow darker gray bands cross the dark gray areas on some specimens. The chert weathers to a two-tone tan. While I have seen many artifacts made from this chert, I have not found many sources.
