content: PCMF-1 (Middlebrook Felsite, Variety 1): Collections were made south of Ironton, Mo. although the variety is found north of town too. Again the felsite is variable. The material collected ranged from tan to gray and greenish gray. Texture was mostly medium to slightly coarse, although some fine textured greenish felsite does exist in the area. Felsite in its better grades is more knappable t han rhyolite and the range can go from fair to very good.

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.
