content: MP-6 (Mississippian Pierson, Variety 6): MP Variety 6. Found in Christian Co. MO. This chert is a light blue variety with calcium carbonate splotches in it. The material seems penecontemporaneous (formed with deposition of the carbonates) as limestone is wrapped around the chert in places. White crinoid fragments are present in most samples. Small flecks of iron pyrites is visible in a few samples at 10X. The chert fractures irregularly in knapping and the workability is poor. My sample size is rather small.
