USGS Loc. 13796, Americus LS member, Foraker LS formation | Mudge M. R., Yochelson E. L., et al (1962) | Council Grove - Foraker Limestone - Americus Limestone | The authors placed the Americus Limestone in the Permian, but more recent data indicates that it was late Carboniferous. The collection comes from the middle limestone of the Americus at this locality. The Noginskian Stage is recognized as equivalent to the Virgilian Stage. | "limestone" | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |
USGS Loc. 13797, Americus LS member, Foraker LS formation | Mudge M. R., Yochelson E. L., et al (1962) | Council Grove - Foraker Limestone - Americus Limestone | The authors placed the Americus Limestone in the Permian, but more recent data indicates that it was late Carboniferous. The collection comes from the upper limestone of the Americus at this locality. The Noginskian Stage is recognized as equivalent to the Virgilian Stage. | "limestone" | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |
USGS Loc. 13798, Unit B, Hughes Creek Shale member, Foraker LS formation | Mudge M. R., Yochelson E. L., et al (1962) | Council Grove - Foraker Limestone - Hughes Creek Shale | 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. | "limestone" | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |
USGS Loc. 13799, Unit B, Hughes Creek Shale member, Foraker LS formation | Mudge M. R., Yochelson E.

The Noginskian Stage is recognized as equivalent to the Virgilian Stage. | siltstone | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |
USGS Loc. 13800, Unit B, Hughes Creek Shale member, Foraker LS formation | Mudge M. R., Yochelson E. L., et al (1962) | Council Grove - Foraker Limestone - Hughes Creek Shale | The authors placed the Hughes Creek Shale in the Permian, but more recent data indicates that it is late Carboniferous.
