Stratigraphy
| Geological group: | Council Grove | Formation: | Foraker Limestone | Member: | Hughes Creek Shale |
| Local section: | Unit B | Local bed: | 11-15 | ||
| Local order: | bottom to top | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: The authors placed the Hughes Creek Shale in the Permian, but more recent data indicates that it was late Carboniferous. The collection comes from 5 beds alternating between shales and limestones at this locality. The Noginskian Stage is recognized as equivalent to the Virgilian Stage. | |||||
