Legend

These maps indicate lithostratigraphic units only. No temporal, genetic, or related depositional aspects are meant or implied.

Stratigraphic nomenclature follows:

Zeller, D. E., ed., [1968] 2008, Classification of rocks in Kansas, revised by Kansas Geological Survey Stratigraphic Nomenclature Committee; in, The Stratigraphic Succession in Kansas: Kansas Geological Survey, Bulletin 189, 81 p., chart.

The stratigraphic sequence in this report is restricted to the interval from the Blue Rapids Shale at the base to the Wellington Formation at the top. Overlying these Permian rocks are Quaternary alluvium and terrace deposits. The following lithostratigraphic contacts were mapped in the Morris County quadrangles of this report:

• Quaternary alluvium and terrace deposits
• Base of the Hollenberg Limestone Member, Wellington Formation (Marker Bed, orange line)
• Top of the Nolans Limestone (Herington Limestone Member)
• Base of the Nolans Limestone (Krider Limestone Member)
• Top of the Winfield Limestone (Cresswell Limestone Member)
• Base of the Winfield Limestone (Stovall Limestone Member)
• Base of the Towanda Limestone Member, Doyle Shale (Marker Bed, purple line)
• Top of the Barneston Limestone (Fort Riley Limestone Member)
• Fort Riley Limestone "rimrock" (Marker Bed, red line)
• Base of Barneston Limestone (Florence Limestone Member)
• Top of the Wreford Limestone (Schroyer Limestone Member)
• Base of the Wreford Limestone (Threemile Limestone Member)
• Base of the Funston Limestone

Solid Line = Observed Contact
Dashed Line = Concealed Contact
