Stratigraphic Units
A stratigraphic unit is a volume of Rock (geology), rock of identifiable origin and relative age range that is defined by the distinctive and dominant, easily mapped and recognizable petrography, petrographic, lithology, lithologic or paleontology, paleontologic features (facies) that characterize it. Units must be ''mappable'' and ''distinct'' from one another, but the contact need not be particularly distinct. For instance, a unit may be defined by terms such as "when the sandstone component exceeds 75%". Lithostratigraphic units Sequences of sedimentary rock, sedimentary and volcanic rocks are subdivided on the basis of their shared or associated lithology. Formally identified lithostratigraphic units are structured in a hierarchy of lithostratigraphic rank, higher rank units generally comprising two or more units of lower rank. Going from smaller to larger in rank, the main lithostratigraphic ranks are bed, member, formation, group and supergroup. Formal names of lithostrati ...

Boone Formation
The Boone Formation a discrete and definable unit of cherty limestone rock strata located in northwest Arkansas, Missouri and northeast Oklahoma. The stratigraphy of the Boone Formation dates to the Mississippian age. The Boone Formation is rich in fossils, and occasionally preserves the remains of sharks' teeth in outcrops along Buffalo National River. Equivalent rocks of the Osagean in southwest Missouri include the Pierson Limestone, Fern Glen Formation, Reeds Spring Formation, Elsey Formation (including the Grand Falls Chert), Burlington Limestone and the Keokuk Limestone The Keokuk Limestone is a geologic formation in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. It preserves fossils A fossil (from Classical Latin , ) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age. Exam ....

Funston Limestone
The Funston Limestone is a Permian geologic formation in Kansas having various significant beds of limestone with some shale. This formation was named for Camp Funston, Riley County, Kansas, in 1931 by Condra, G.E., and Upp, J.E.. Adjoining the old camp, some of the oldest buildings in Ogden, Kansas, are built with near-white Funston Limestone.
