Summary:

Pg. 111. †Barclay limestone. This name fell into disuse years ago. As defined it included several limestones. According to R.C. Moore, 1936 (Kansas Geol. Survey Bull., no. 22, p. 215), Barclay limestone of Beede extended from top of Scranton shale up to base of Willard shale (just as defined by Beede), but Moore's Willard shale is a younger shale than the Willard of current [ca. 1938] literature. Moore discarded this name. [Replaced with Tarkio member of Wabaunsee formation.]
