content: DP-1 ( Devonian Penters Variety 1): DP (Devonian Penters) Variety 1. Found in the Batesville, AR. area. Brown to gray irregular spots, splotches, and swirls are scattered over a cream colored to light gray field. Crystal filled and lined vugs are visible to the naked eye. The crystals are small but distinct at 10 X. Texture is medium and the fracture is bumpy and irregular. Surface Penters Variety 1 chert is too brittle to be knapped (it simply shatters). Freshly extracted chert can be worked but the knappability is only fair. This variety of Penters is found in the upper two thirds of the exposed Penters stratum .
