content: Reynales Chert, also known as Hickory Corners or Wallington, is a predominately gray-blue chert. When weathered it is a dark gray-black patina with pinkish hues. It is packed with fossil shells and shell fragments, strophomena; xenolithic inclusions of partly silicified limestone are common. The brachiopod Eocoelia cf. Intermediate and theostracode Zygobola excavate are useful in establishing the age of this member. Hickory Corners Limestone; frequent pepper-like inclusions are prominent. Texture is brittle, splintery fracture, rarely conchoidal. Deposits nodular and thin layers in dolomitic limestone.
