content: JEFFERSON CITY. The Jefferson City formation is found on the surface throughout the southern half of Missouri, except in the extreme southeast and in the western counties (except McDonald & Barry, where limited amounts occurr). Over much of this area the Jefferson City and Cotter are not differentiated because the lithiologies are similar and often thin. In many cases the mottled and irregularly banded Jefferson City dolomite cannot be separated from from similarly marked Cotter. A careful microscopic examination reveals few distinguishing differences, so these are best left undifferentiated. The following two varieties seem to be clearly associated with the Jefferson City formation.
