• "The lower 194 feet above the basal sandstone of the Bromide consists chiefly of shales with some thin limestone beds. Between 25 and 46 feet above the sandstone the brachiopod Sowerbyites is abundant in association with numerous massive bryozoans. Above this zone Valcourea transversa is abundant. At the top of the sequence and just under the light-colored nodular limestones of the Pooleville member numerous brachiopods are associated with the cystids Platycystites and Cheirocrinus. The uppermost beds contain the brachiopod Multicostella convexa Cooper. This brachiopod zone affords a means of comparison with other sections and gives a clue to the facies changes."

•"[B]asal tan to greenish-gray fine-grained quartz arenite sandstone, with well-rounded and frosted grains, overlain by a sandstone and greenish-gray illitic-chloritic shale above. The sandstone sequence is thickest (more than 37 m) along Lick Creek in the northwestern Arbuckles and thinnest (less than 9 m) in the eastern Arbuckles, losing sand at the top of the section. The overlying shale and limestone is thickest (more than 60 m) along the axis of aulacogen and is mostly shale. In a comparable section in the northeastern Arbuckles, limestone predominates with some sand, and the section is 24 to 31 m thick." Lithology from R, O. Fay and A. A. Graffman. 1982.
