Contact of dark-weathering, wavy-bedded limestone of the Viola Group overlying 

white-weathering, tabular-bedded, micritic limestone of Bromide Formation (Simpson Group) 

along Highway 377 near the central part of the eastern map border. 

Solution cavities and box work breccia in fine-grained sandstone of West Spring Creek 

Formation (Arbuckle Group) in the central part of the map area. Sandstone beds occur but are 

uncommon within this formation in the map area.

Limestone conglomerate that is common in Desmoinesian rocks in the northeast part of the 

map area. Also shown as figure 9 in the pamphlet.

Exposure of Hart limestone (informal) of the Desmoinesian Boggy Formation about 10 miles 

northeast of the map area in the region of the Lawrence uplift.
