Florence Cherts (incl. Kay County Chert) (Oklahoma)

[painshill]

“Florence Chert” is found throughout the Permian Limestone Formations in the Flint Hills stretching from eastern Kansas to north-central Oklahoma. The sub-division into four distinct types: Florence-A (also known as Kay County Chert), Florence-B, Florence-C and Florence-D is a relatively recent archaeological/geological distinction. The principal outcrop for Florence-A is in Oklahoma; and for Florence B, C and D in Kansas.

All Florence chert types are therefore covered in the main entry for this group of lithics in the “Northern Plains” section, with other Kansas lithics here:
