San Saba River, at Menard-Mason border, near Twentymile Crossing | Dake C. L., Bridge J. (1932) | Ellenburger - Tanyard | Originally given as lower Ellenburger formation, but this is now known as the Tanyard. This is now Skullrockian, but as this overlaps with the latest Cambrian, I'm keeping Gasconade. Tribes Hill equivalent? | "limestone" | 485.4 - 477.7 Ma Paleozoic |
