hey otoe, i just found out that the real name for keokuk is peoria chert. im gonna have to go look it up and see if i can find where its located. i saw some pics of that kay county and it looks like some nice rock.
Otoe Bow:
Hmmmmm Peoria ehhhhh?. I wonder if that has anything to do with Peoria, like the street in Tulsa?
From my, "I don't know beans about knapping rock" point of view, the Kay County seems to be pretty good stuff. ::)

just looked up the peoria chert aka 'keokuk'. its in several chert formatios from southeast kansas to the ouachita mountains in southeast ok. most concentrated in east central oklahoma and near miami, oklahoma. theres supposed to be a big quarry near peoria, ok.
