USGS Loc. 13675, 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 is late Carboniferous. Collection comes from the lower 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 |
