Summary:
Pg. 1465, 1466. Antioch sandstone. South of Washita River the upper part of Garber-Wellington section again contains thick sandstones, as at Antioch, in T. 3 N., R. 2 W. These Antioch sandstones grade northward into the shale of Paoli area, thus indicating that they did not come from same direction as the Garber of Cleveland County. Between the Antioch sandstones and the Pontotoc on east the lower section is similar to that east of Paoli, the sandstone being very lenticular. [On p. 1466 Green states that on south side of Washita River, in area southwest of Maysville, a good shale section, 160 feet thick, lies between base of Purcell sandstone lenses of Hennessey shale and Antioch sandstone.] Age is Permian.
