Summary
; Covered,Crinoid wackestone, gray, with abundant fusulinids towards top, many brachiopods,Covered. Contains abundant float (lenses?) of crinoid wackestone, gray, with abundant fusulinids and brachiopods,Peloid, alga boundstone, gray to red brown; upper surface encrusted by
Spirorbis worm, foram, alga boundstone,2 milimeters to 1 centimeter thic, porous, with eroded edges and truncated upper surface; overlain and underlain by foram, ostracode packstone to wackestone, light gray, with loose
Calcivertella forams about 15% and ostracodes about 10% of rock, many very fine- quartz-sand grains and gastropods, upper part contains few crinoids and brachiopod fragments, lower part ( underlying peloid, alga boundstone) contains tiny pebble-sized intraclasts of peloid, alga boundstone and 4 milimeters thick by 6 centimeters wide peloid-algal(?) lenses. Peloid, algal boundstone morphology: 6 centimeters high, laterally linked columnal to domal features, flat topped, seperated about every 10 centimeters by channel rills about 1 centimeter wide and 4 centimeters deep, with ragged edges. Rills and larger pores are generally filled with foram, ostracode packstone. A dark gray shale to mudstone fills the upper part of some large pores. Domal features (2 centimeter inner height) are visible only on the basal surface of the 6 centimeter thick layer of peloid, alga boundstone,Shale, yellow to tan,

The database contains a set of measured sections (precise measurements and descriptions of a cross section of an outcrop or roadcut) for selected counties in Kansas. The data is based on archived materials from the Kansas Geological Survey, with sections created from 1900's to 1950's. The graphic columns have been scanned or scanned and traced from the original copies, and the descriptions have been typed in. Current stratigraphic nomenclature may be different than that presented on these pages, and some of these outcrops may no longer exist or may not be accessible.
