content: DP-2 (Devonian Penters Variety 2): DP Variety 2. Found in the Batesville, AR. area. This chert is light blue or gray with a gritty texture and many tiny silica particles in and on the surface of the chert. It breaks with an irregular fracture ... rarely concoidal. Some of the chert near the base of the formation obviously has been crushed and recemented together with a lime-silica mixtured to form a breccia. This variety is found in the lower two thirds of the exposed Penters stratum. Workability is poor.
