This article contains a list of fossil-bearing stratigraphic units in the state of Missouri, U.S.
The Davis Formation is a geologic formation in Indiana and Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cambrian period.
The Chouteau Limestone is a geologic formation in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Keokuk Limestone is a geologic formation in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Mississippian sub-period.
The Warsaw Formation is a geologic formation in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Mississippian subperiod.
The Roubidoux Formation is a geologic formation in the Ozarks of Missouri and in Virginia. It preserves fossils dating back to the Ordovician period.
The Franconia Formation is a geologic formation in the upper mid-western United States, with outcroppings found in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cambrian period. It was named the Franconia Formation due to the first published documentation of exposures in vicinity of Franconia, Minnesota in the 1897 Ph.D. dissertation by Charles P. Berkley at the University of Minnesota titled Geology of the St. Croix Dalles. The Franconian stratigraphic stage was named after this formation.
The St. Clair Limestone is a geologic formation in Arkansas, Indiana, Missouri, and Oklahoma. It preserves fossils dating back to the Silurian period. This high density, high magnesium dolomitic limestone was originally classified as a marble in Oklahoma due to the fact that it would hold a high polish, hence Marble City.
The Bronson Group is a geologic group in Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Kansas City Group is a geologic group in Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Hertha Formation is a geologic formation in Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Burlington Limestone is a geologic formation in Missouri, Iowa and the Midwest region. It preserves fossils dating back to the Mississippian subperiod.
The Dennis Formation is a geologic formation in Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Fern Glen Formation is a geologic formation in eastern and southeastern Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Osagean Series of the Mississippian subperiod.
The Lost Branch Formation is a geologic formation in Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Swope Formation is a geologic formation in Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Leemon Formation is a geologic formation in Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Ordovician period.
The Cape Limestone is a geologic formation in Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Ordovician period.
The Moccasin Springs Formation is a geologic formation in Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Silurian period.
The Bowling Green Dolomite is a geologic formation in Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Silurian period.
The Benton Shale is a geologic formation in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska. It preserves fossils dating to the Cretaceous Period. The term Benton Limestone has also been used to refer to the chalky portions of the strata, especially the upper beds of the strata presently classified as Greenhorn Limestone. The Benton classification is obsolete in some regions, having been replaced by the ascending sequence Graneros Shale, Greenhorn Limestone, and Carlile Shale.
