content: MRS-27 (Mississippian Reed Springs, Variety 27): MRS Variety 27. Mayes Co.OK. An off-white to cream colored ground features light tan splotches and streaks as well as some medium gray splotches. Silica filled healed fractures are common. At 10X the darker gray spots have a light zone around them. Light areas; devoid of spots or splotches, bear a superficial resemblance to Keokuk chert. This variety is in massive beds too, but two to three meters above this in the bluff one finds typical MRS lithiology. The texture is medium and knappability very good to fine.
