The Santa Rosa Group is a geologic group in Belize and Guatemala. It contains the Chochal Formation. [1] The marine lithified, black, calcareous shales preserve fossils dating back to the Pennsylvanian to Kungurian stages of the Carboniferous and Permian periods.
The Monongahela Formation is a geologic formation in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Maryland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous and Permian periods.
The Stanton Formation is a geologic formation of limestone in Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period. It is in the Upper Pennsylvanian series, forming the top of the Lansing Group.
The Beattie Formation, or Beattie Limestone, is a geologic formation in east-central Kansas, northeast-central Oklahoma, and southeastern Nebraska in the Midwestern United States. It preserves fossils dating to the Permian period.
The Council Grove Group is a geologic group in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska as well as subsurface Colorado. It preserves fossils dating to the Carboniferous-Permian boundary. This group forms the foundations and lower ranges of the Flint Hills of Kansas, underlying the Chase Group that forms the highest ridges of the Flint Hills.
The Wellington Formation is a geologic formation in Kansas and Oklahoma. It preserves fossils dating back to the Permian period.
The Johnson Formation is a thick geologic formation of soft shale with thin, resistant beds of chalkier mudstone and limestone in Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma rarely exposed outside of road cuts. It preserves fossils dating back to the late-Carboniferous period.
The Hueco Formation is a geologic formation in west Texas and southern New Mexico. It preserves fossils dating back to the early Permian period.
The Santa Rosa Flat Formation is a geologic formation in California. It preserves fossils dating back to the Permian period.
The Chocal Formation is a geologic formation in Guatemala. The limestone formation preserves fossils dating back to the Permian period.
The Marl Slate Formation is a geological formation in England. Despite its name, it is mostly dolomite rock. The Marl Slate Formation was formed about 273 to 259 million years ago, during the Guadalupian and Lopingian epochs of the late Permian period of the Earth's geological history. This formation is part of the Zechstein Group of rocks. The Marl Slate Formation contains fossils including the conodont Mesogondolella britannica and the dorypterid fishes Dorypterus and Lekanichthys. The Marl Slate Formation outcrops in north-east England, for example in Yorkshire.
The Karabaglyar Formation is a geologic formation in Armenia and Azerbaijan. It preserves fossils dating back to the Changhsingian to Induan stages of the Permian and Triassic periods in the regional stratigraphy, straddling the Permian-Triassic boundary.
The Florena Shale is a stratigraphic unit in east-central Kansas, northeast-central Oklahoma, and southeastern Nebraska in the Midwestern United States. It preserves fossils dating to the Permian period.
The Fort Riley Limestone is a stratigraphic unit and historic building stone, sold commercially as Silverdale, in east-central Kansas, northeast-central Oklahoma, and southeastern Nebraska in the Midwestern United States. It preserves fossils dating to the Permian period.
The Roca Formation is an early Permian geologic formation (Wolfcampian) with its exposure running north and south through Kansas and extending into Nebraska and Oklahoma, notably comprising varicolored black, brown, gray, green, red, and blue shales, mudstones, and limestone, some of which representing Permian paleosols.
The Victorio Peak Formation is a geologic formation found in the Delaware Basin in Texas and New Mexico. It preserves fossils dating back to the Leonardian Age of the Permian Period.
