Collections
| Collection | Reference | Stratigraphic Name | Comments | Lithology | Age |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USGS Loc. 13519, Falls City Limestone formation | Mudge M. R., Yochelson E. L., et al (1962) | Admire - Onaga Shale - Hawxby Shale | The authors placed the Onaga Shale in the Permian, but more recent data indicates it is late Carboniferous. The Noginskian Stage is reported as equivalent to the Virgilian Stage. Some contradiction exists within the source regarding placement of this collection between the Onaga Shale Fm and the Falls City Fm. Onaga is believed to be the correct formation. | claystone | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |
| USGS Loc. 13520, Five Point LS member, Janesville Shale formation | Mudge M. R., Yochelson E. L., et al (1962) | Admire - Janesville Shale - Five Point Limestone | The authors placed the Five Point Limestone in the Permian, but more recent data indicates that it is late Carboniferous. The Noginskian stage is reported as equivalent to the Virgilian stage. | "shale" | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |
| USGS Loc. 13521, Hamlin Shale member, Janesville Shale formation | Mudge M. R., Yochelson E. L., et al (1962) | Admire - Janesville Shale - Hamlin Shale | The authors placed the Hamlin Shale in the Permian, but more recent data indicates that it is late Carboniferous. Collection comes from the limestone bed in the Hamlin shale at this locality. Noginskian Stage is recognized as equivalent to the Virgilian stage. | "limestone" | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |
| USGS Loc. 13522, Hamlin Shale member, Janesville Shale formation | Mudge M. R., Yochelson E. L., et al (1962) | Admire - Janesville Shale - Hamlin Shale | The authors placed the Hamlin Shale in the Permian, but more recent data indicates that it is late Carboniferous. The collection comes from the third limestone bed from the bottom in the Hamlin Shale at this locality. The Noginskian stage is recognized as equivalent to the Virgilian stage. | "limestone" | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |
