.... During regressive depositional phases in the Missourian (Late Pennsylvanian), siliciclastic sediments were transported into Kansas mainly from the southeast. The five members of the latest Missourian Stanton Formation (in ascending order: Captain Creek Limestone, Eudora Shale, Stoner Limestone, Rock Lake...

...R. M. Joeckel Abstract Enigmatic structures in the shape of inverted rounded cones are very common in a discrete horizon of the upper Stoner Limestone Member (Stanton Limestone Formation, Lansing Group, Upper Pennsylvanian) in southeastern Nebraska. These structures are 100–300 mm in diameter...

... cross-bedded, yellowish to red sandstone. Unit 2 is discontinuous bituminous, thin-bedded limestone, in places associated with gypsum, attaining a thickness of 15 feet, and named the Pony Express limestone member of the Morrison formation. Unit 3 is sandstone or sandy beds about 20 feet thick here named...

... consists basically of an ascending sequence of: thick, locally nonmarine (“outside”) shale–thin middle limestone member–thin black shale member–thick upper limestone member–outside shale. Conodont distribution (chiefly multielement) ranges from (1) low abundance and diversity, commonly with Adetognathus...

... sandstones that commonly weather to form badlands. The Owl Rock member is composed of pale red, dominantly non-bentonitic siltstone and light greenish gray and pale red limestone. The Church Rock member is noticeable as a reddish or brownish siltstone and sandstone unit lying above the limestones of the Owl...

... The middle and upper limestone members are separated by the most distinctive of the shale members, the one that commonly contains a black fissile facies, which typically carries nonskeletal phosphorite and lacks benthic fossils. Although sometimes absent in this shale member, the phosphatic black facies...

... was performed using stratigraphic data from the Pennsylvanian succession containing floodplain limestones of the Stewart Quadrangle of Athens County in Ohio (USA). Limestone volumes for six limestone units (Upper Pittsburgh, Fishpot, Sewickley, Benwood/Arnoldsburg, Uniontown, and Waynesburg limestones) were...

... the mound into upper and lower massive units. Captain Creek Limestone Member (Stanton Formation) in Table Mound quarry near Independence, Montgomery County, Kansas. FIG. 5. —Massive vuggy limestone of algal mound abruptly overlying thin-, well-bedded limestone typical of open marine facies...

... in the TST and HST, in later sections. Figure 7 Rock Lake Shale paleosol (SB 2) at Ash Grove Quarry, Louisville, Nebraska (location A in Fig. 4 ). Aridisol-like paleosol with comparatively shallow carbonate nodule horizon (Bk) overlies weathered Stoner Limestone Member, upper 25–40 cm of which has...

.... To address the validity of these dietary and habitat inferences, patterns of dental microwear obtained from low-magnification stereomicroscopy for C. williamsi specimens from Sterkfontein Member 4 (n = 13) are compared to a broad comparative sample of extant primates, including Cebus apella (n = 10), Colobus...

... and the Paleocene to Eocene transition. The Paleocene through lowermost Eocene succession is >100 m thick and was deposited at middle to lower bathyal depths in a hemipelagic, near-continental setting in the central western Tethys. In the Forada section, the Paleocene succession of limestone-marl couplets...

... of Early and Middle(?) Triassic age; in ber of the Dolores Formation ( Fig. 1 ). The redbed sequence consists of reddish-brown, horizontally bedded or structureless siltstone and minor amounts of limestone and sandstone. It includes members in the upper part of the Chinle Formation, a lower member (Rock...

... modeling. In this outcrop–based study, we generated a data set of the dimensions of fracture–related dolomite geobodies hosted in Ediacaran (Khufai Formation) limestones of the Oman Mountains that are up to several hundreds of meters long and a few tens of meters wide. The dolomite formed under burial...

..., and the upper arrow points to the Haskell Limestone, which is generally thin in interfluvial areas. Units on the scale are 15 cm. (b) Basal sequence boundary near the middle of the trunk paleovalley. The top of the hammer rests on the boundary between the Stoner Limestone Member of the Stanton Limestone below...

... taxa described here but no diagnostic plates are seen. These specimens are best left unassigned at this time. These three specimens were collected from an abandoned quarry near Garnett, Kansas (Locality 2) from surface float of the Stoner Limestone Member of the Stanton Formation (Missourian...

... of the Bembridge Limestone, the base of sequence 5 of Gale et al . (2006) (their intervening sequences 6 and 7 within the Bembridge Marls and lower Hamstead members being poorly defined). Subchron I in Chron C13r therefore provides the best fit for the Bembridge normal polarity zone. The stratigraphical...

... South, and Cava Termini sections (Lima Valley, northern Tuscany). In Lima Valley, the Tuscan Cherts overlie turbiditic cherty limestones of the Calcare Selcifero della Val di Lima and are overlain by the Maiolica Formation. The lower Chert sensu stricto member at Monte Pratofiorito is divided into 4...
