L., et al (1962) | Admire - Janesville Shale - Hamlin Shale | The authors placed the Hamlin 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. | "shale" | 301.2 - 300.2 Ma Carboniferous |

L., et al (1962) | Council Grove - Foraker Limestone - Americus Limestone | The authors placed the Americus Limestone in the Permian, but more recent data indicates that it is late Carboniferous. The collection comes from the shale between the upper and lower limestone of the Americus at this locality.
