Abstract

Zuni Mountain Spotted Chert is one of the most significant lithic materials in northwest New Mexico, but there are few published descriptions of the material or its sources. This article provides a geologic context for Zuni Mountain Spotted Chert and synthesizes sixty years of references and field observations to describe confirmed and probable source locations in western New Mexico.
