content: MKP-3 (Mississippian Keokuk Prior Aggregate, Variety 3): MK Prior Aggregate, Variety 3. Mayes Co. OK. This is a cream colored to light gray and cream colored chert with medium dark gray swirls, splotches, and spots across the field. These are often localized in one area of the field. Crystal filled or lined vugs are common as are healed seams. Very tiny brown spots (clear at 10 X) are found on some specimens . Iron oxide coats fracture surfaces. The chert weathers tan or brown & works very well. One fossil brizoan was noted.

content: KEOKUK (Prior Aggregate). I am separating the Keokuk varieties found near Prior; OK. from those found elsewhere because the local geology in that area is far from clear. Some stone 'in areas which are designated Keokuk on the Oklahoma geological map has characteristics of upper Reeds Spring, while some of the chert suggests the Elsey (a term which has replaced the Grand Falls in Missouri).
