Collections
| Collection | Reference | Stratigraphic Name | Comments | Lithology | Age |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USGS Loc. 13593, Unit B, Hughes Creek Shale member, Foraker LS 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, but more recent data indicates that it is late Carboniferous. The collection comes from the lower shale of Unit B. The Noginskian Stage is recognized as equivalent to the Virgilian Stage. Strat section given in Mudge and Burton, 1959, section 45, p. 175; | "shale" | 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, but more recent data indicates that it is late Carboniferous. The Noginskian Stage is recognized as equivalent to the Virgilian Stage. Strat section comes from Mudge and Burton, 1959, section 45, p. 175; | "shale" | 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, but more recent data indicates that it is late Carboniferous. The Noginskian Stage is recgonized as equivalent to the Virgilian Stage. Strat section given in Mudge and Burton, 1959, section 45, p. 175; | "shale" | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |
