Back cover: Photograph from 2002 of principal reference section of Canville Limestone Member and black Stark Shale Member of Dennis Limestone, with basal beds of overlying Winterset Limestone Member at top. Outcrop is located along north side of US-59-K-39, about 1.7 mi (3 km) west of Stark, in northeastern Neosho County, Kansas. Exact location is given on p. 23. University of Iowa graduate students Heidi Dowd, Courtney Stewart, and John Paul Pope provide scale.
