Where: Lyon County, Kansas (38.7° N, 96.2° W: paleocoordinates 2.0° S, 28.1° W)
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Hughes Creek Shale Member (Foraker Limestone Formation), Noginskian (301.2 - 300.1 Ma)
• The authors placed the Hughes Creek Shale in the Permian, but more recent data indicates that it is late Carboniferous. The Noginskian Stage is recognized as equivalent to the Virgilian Stage.
• member-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; shale
