Being a continuation of the foregoing lists of Rogers, published in this
journal, vol. IX, No. 4, pp. 232–254.[1]
The present paper deals with the fauna of the rocks, beginning at the
base of what Haworth has called the “Shawnee formation”[2] and
continuing upward to the top of the Cottonwood limestone. The strata are
treated in ascending order. It must be borne in mind that it is the
object of these papers to bring out the fauna of the rocks of the Kansas
Coal Measures in sufficient detail to establish time divisions on a
paleontological basis. These lists are, of course, incomplete for the
horizons _in toto_, but it is hoped that they do give the characteristic
fossils of the rocks of the Kansas river section in sufficient fulness
to warrant some deductions of value. The fauna of the Lower Coal
Measures still remains to be completed.
=20.= KANWAKA SHALES (Adams MSS., by permission U. S. Geological
Survey). Bennett’s description:[3] “Above the last (Oread) limestone
lies a heavy shale deposit, at least ninety-seven feet thick at
Lecompton. The lower sixty-five feet of this is a clay shale, then
sixteen feet of arenaceous shale, then five feet of sand rock, above
which lies eleven feet of sandy buff shales.” No fossils known from this
horizon.
