content: MK-4 (Mississippian Keokuk Variety 4): MK Variety 4. Washington County & elsewhere in NW AR. A fairly dense off-white to light gray chert features some healed fractures. Faintly visible light gray splotches are found on some examples. The variety strongly resembles Tahlequah chert (Moorefield formation), but I have been assured by Dr. Manger that the deposit is Keokuk (or Upper Boone in his terminology). Some selections are badly fractured, but some are not. Knappability is about good. Weathers gray.
