The Kiamichi Shale or Kiamichi Formation is a geologic formation in Arkansas [1] and Texas. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Claiborne Formation or Claiborne Group is a geologic formation in Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, and Texas. It preserves fossils dating back to the Paleogene period.
The Cotter Formation is a geologic formation in Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and in Virginia. It preserves fossils dating back to the Ordovician period.
The Fernvale Limestone is a geologic formation in Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. It preserves fossils dating back to the Ordovician period.
The Midway Group is a geologic group in the Mississippi Embayment of Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Alabama. It preserves fossils dated to the Paleogene period.
The Weches Formation is a greensand, slay, and shale geologic formation in Louisiana and Eastern Texas. It preserves fossils dating back to the Paleogene period, specifically the Eocene.
The Morrow Group was a geologic group in Arkansas that is now abandoned and replaced by the Bloyd Formation and the Hale Formation. It preserves fossils dating back to the Pennsylvanian period.
The Navarro Group is a geologic group in Arkansas, Texas and Coahuila, Mexico. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Hindsville Formation, or Hindsville Limestone Member of the Batesville Formation, is a geologic unit in northern Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma that dates to the Chesterian Series of the late Mississippian. Named for the town of Hindsville in Madison County, Arkansas, this unit is recognized as a member of the Batesville Formation in Arkansas and a geologic formation in Oklahoma. Although, some workers have proposed raising the rank of this interval in Arkansas to formation status. Both the Batesville and Hindsville Formations overlie the Moorefield Formation and underlie the Fayetteville Shale.
The Moorefield Formation, or Moorefield Shale, is a geologic formation in northern Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma that dates to the Meramecian Series of the middle Mississippian. In Arkansas, this formation is generally recognized to have one member, the Ruddell Shale, in the upper Moorefield Formation.
The Arkadelphia Marl, also called the Arkadelphia Formation, is a geologic formation in Arkansas in Clark, Nevada, and Hempstead counties. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Marlbrook Marl is a geologic formation in Arkansas. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Nacatoch Formation is a geologic formation in Arkansas, USA. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Saratoga Chalk is a geologic formation in Arkansas. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period, specifically ammonites.
The Ozan Formation is a geologic formation in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Everton Formation is a geologic formation in northern Arkansas that dates to the middle Ordovician Period. Unconformities separate this formation from the underlying Powell Formation and the overlying St. Peter Sandstone Formation. Named for the town of Everton in Boone County, Arkansas in 1907, the Everton Formation is composed primarily of dolomite, limestone, and sandstone.
The Smithville Formation or Smithville Dolomite is a geologic formation in Arkansas. It preserves fossils dating back to the Ordovician period.
The White Bluff Formation is a marl, sand, and clay geologic formation in Arkansas that is part of the Jackson Group. It preserves fossils dating back to the Paleogene period, specifically the Eocene.
The Winslow Formation was a geologic formation in Arkansas, now abandoned and replaced by the Atoka Formation, the Hartshorne Formation, and the lower McAlester Formation. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Taylor Marl is a geologic formation in Texas. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Goodland Limestone or Goodland Formation is a geologic formation in Arkansas and Texas. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
