content: DS-1 (Sallisaw Chert): Found in the Marble City area of OK. Sometimes this chert is a solid light gray, but often wispy streaks and splotches of medium blue-gray cross a light gray field. Texture is mostly medium with some vitreous areas found. Some of the chert is found in sandstone (yellowish-tan to reddish in color) and a few fossils are noted in the chert. Crystal filled or lined vugs sometimes are found. This chert resembles variety 2 of Penters. A rare variety with tan ground and gray to brown streaks and splotches resembles both Penters 1 and Fortune varieties 1 and 2. A cherty conglomerate is often found near the top of the Sallisaw formation.
