=29.= BARCLAY LIMESTONE. (Adams, MSS., by permission of U. S. Geological
Survey.) Base of the Wabaunsee formation. For the present it seems best
to group several strata in this formation.[9] They cannot well be mapped
on the scale of the U. S. folios, and they are also intimately connected
faunally, and usually all assist in producing a high escarpment with the
upper part retreating. The rocks aggregate about seventy feet in
thickness. The following section will serve to give an idea of these
rocks:
ft. in.
_g._ Gray, argillaceous, fossiliferous limestone, from 1 foot 2 0
to
_f._ Bluish calcareous shales with _Enteletes_, _Myalina_, 20 0
_Allorisma_ and _Bellerophon_ fauna, from 8 feet to
_e._ Hard, shelly, bluish limestone 4 0
_d._ Shales with thin limestones, varying from 21 feet to 40 0
_c._ Hard gray limestone weathering light yellow, from 1½ feet 1 0
to
_b._ Thin layer of shale 0 6
_a._ Massive yellowish-gray limestone, very hard, with but few 6 0
fossils, from 4 to 7 feet thick, averaging about

by far the greater part ranging through all three.
