content: OR-2 (Ordovician Roubidoux (pronounced Roo' be do), Variety 2, Quartzite): Quartzite. This quartzite is light gray and coarse textured. Moderately large rounded quartz grains are cemented with a light gray to lopaline white silica. Fracture often tends to go around rather than through the grains, resulting in a rough surface. Knapability is poor, but it was used by native Americans. OR: Roubidoux (S. Central MO.) Equivalent in Ellenburger Group near Cherokee, TX. Ordovician.
