| Glen Park Formation, stratigraphic locality 396 (Poor Farm Hollow Road), Calhoun | Carter J. L. (1988) | Glen Park | This formation was previously known as the Horton Creek member of the Hannibal Formation. Due to the existence of a paraconformity between the Devonian-Mississippian contact, the exact stratigraphic position of these beds has been corrected several times since their first description in the early 1900's. Carter contains a complete description of the history of work done on these sections. | "limestone" | 358.9 - 346.7 Ma Paleozoic |
