| Collection | Reference | Stratigraphic Name | Comments | Lithology | Age |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USGS Loc. 13432, Unit A, Hughes Creek Shale member, Foraker Shale 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, more recent data indicates that it was actually in the late Carboniferous. The collection comes from the lower part of unit 1 of the Hughes Creek at this locality. The Noginskian Stage is recognized as equivalent to the Virgilian Stage. | "limestone" | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |

L., et al (1962) | Council Grove - Foraker Limestone - Hughes Creek Shale | 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 upper part of unit 1 of the Hughes Creek at this locality. The Noginskian Stage is recognized as equivalent to the Virgilian Stage. | "limestone" | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |
