content: PCPF-1 (Pilot Knob Felsite, Variety 1): This felsite varies widely in appearance and texture, but it is usually .f ound in shades of red, pink, and brown. The stone is very hard and is knappable. Freshly broken specimens are often porphyritic, with reddish feldspar and a few small quartz phenoctysts in the reddish-maroon or brownish-red field. Workability varies from fair to good. Found on the east side of Pilot Knob in the extreme NW part of the Lake Killarney quad.

content: FELSITE. Several formations in the area produce felsite. In most cases the texture of felsite is finer, often approaching that of the better grades of chert. It could easily be confused with some of the Reeds Spring and Pierson cherts if one is not careful. I took samples from three different localities, so other varieties may well exist.
