| USGS Loc. 13746, Friedrich Shale member, Root Shale formation | Mudge M. R., Yochelson E. L., et al (1962) | Wabaunsee - Root Shale - Friedrich Shale | Collection comes from the upper part of the Friedrich Shale member. Noginskian stage is equivalent to the Virgilian stage. | "shale" | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |
| USGS Loc. 13747, Jim Creek LS member, Root Shale formation | Mudge M. R., Yochelson E. L., et al (1962) | Wabaunsee - Root Shale - Jim Creek Limestone | Noginskian stage is equivalent to the Virgilian stage | "limestone" | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |
| USGS Loc. 13748, Brownville LS member, Wood Siding formation | Mudge M. R., Yochelson E. L., et al (1962) | Wabaunsee - Wood Siding - Brownville Limestone | Noginskian stage is reported as equivalent to Virgilian stage | "limestone" | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |
| USGS Loc. 13749, Aspinwall LS member, Onaga Shale formation | Mudge M. R., Yochelson E. L., et al (1962) | Admire - Onaga Shale - Aspinwall Limestone | Collection comes from the shale between the limestone beds. The authors placed the Aspinwall in the Permian, but more recent data indicates that it is late Carboniferous.

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. Collection comes from the shale between the limestone beds in of the Five Point at this locality. The Noginskian Stage recognized as equivalent to the Virgilian Stage. | claystone | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |
