content: Chouteau Chert, also known as Calhoun County Gray, is a course to fine grain and glossy chert. It has mottling of light and dark blues, resulting in mottled bluish gray, bluish black, and gray. When weathered it has a thick, white cortex. It has fossiliferous inclusions of crinoids, bryzoas, and brachiopods. Uniformly small crinoids, 2-3 mm, appear as white specks within the bluish, gray matrix. Deposits include lenticular, sub rectangular, or tabular module deposits.
