USGS Loc. 14909, Unit A, Hughes Creek Shale member, Foraker LS formation | Mudge M. R., Yochelson E. L., et al (1962) | Council Grove - Foraker Limestone - Americus Limestone | The authors placed the Hughes Creek Shale in the Permian, more recent data indicates that it was actually in the late Carboniferous. The collection comes from the lower two-thirds of unit 1 of the Hughes Creek at this locality. The Noginskian Stage is recognized as equivalent to the Virgilian Stage. | "shale" | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |
USGS Loc. 14910, 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 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. | "limestone" | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |
USGS Loc. 14911, Unit C, 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 collection comes from the upper part of Unit C of the Hughes Creek at this locality. The Noginskian Stage is recognized as equivalent to the Virgilian Stage. | claystone | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |
