Pg. 72, 73, 94, 105. Burlingame limestone. Proposed by J.G. Hall for limestone system No. 5, consisting of brown shelly limestone 8 feet thick, overlying Osage shale. ["Osage" as here used included †Burlingame (Scranton) shale.]

In Nebraska, comprises the following members (ascending): Taylor Branch limestone, bluish-gray, massive, weathers brownish, 2 to 4.5 feet; Winnebago shale, bluish, argillaceous, with some limy fossiliferous seams, 8 to 12 feet; and South Fork limestone, one massive bluish bed, or 2 or 3 beds separated by shale, 2 to 6 feet. Overlies Scranton shale formation; underlies Soldier Creek shale formation. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Virgilian).

Burlingame limestone member, basal member of Wabaunsee formation in Missouri. In Kansas the Wabaunsee is treated as a group and the Burlingame as a formation. The present Kansas and Nebraska Surveys use Soldier Creek shale for the beds overlying Burlingame limestone.

Pg. 215-216. Burlingame limestone of Wabaunsee group. Soldier Creek shale and overlying Wakarusa limestone have been included by various writers in Burlingame limestone at several places in central and southern Kansas. The name Burlingame should be restricted to lower limestone, which seems to accord with Hall's original description. Thickness 4 to 16 feet. Has been mapped from southern Nebraska across Kansas, and identified 40+/- miles south of Kansas-Oklahoma line. The limestone makes a fairly prominent escarpment that crosses western part of Burlingame, Kansas. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Virgil).

Chart 6 (column 32). Midcontinent region, collated by R.C. Moore; column 32 (Missouri); also column 31 (Iowa) and 33 (Kansas and Nebraska). In Missouri, Burlingame limestone occurs in middle part of Shawnee group; above Howard limestone and below Wakarusa limestone, separated by unnamed units. In Nebraska and Kansas, Burlingame limestone occurs in lower part of Wabaunsee group; above Howard limestone and below Wakarusa (both also in Wabaunsee group), separated by unnamed units.

Pg. 13, fig. 5. Burlingame limestone of Wabaunsee group. Consists of three limestone beds separated by shale. Upper limestone, about 6 inches thick, is dark gray and finely crystalline, contains fossil fragments, and is underlain by dark-gray clayey shale about 1.5 feet thick. The lower two limestones are separated by calcareous laminated gray shale about 5 feet thick. Upper of the two limestones is gray, argillaceous, and blocky; lower is concretionary, sandy, and fragmental. Total thickness 12 feet. Underlies Soldier Creek shale; overlies Silver Lake shale. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Virgilian).

(Paleozoic Era; Pennsylvanian System by J.M Jewett, H.G. O'Connor, and D.E. Zeller, p. 40.) Burlingame Limestone Member of Bern Limestone of Nemaha subgroup [informal] of Wabaunsee Group. Recognized in Kansas. A fine-grained, hard, thick-bedded, light-gray to brown limestone that appears mottled and brecciated in some exposures. Shale partings occur in the limestone beds. Fusulinids are common in the more persistent part, and algal remains are conspicuous near the top. Biscuit-like algal deposits, composed of SOMPHOSPONGIA, are numerous in a few exposures in northeastern Kansas. Thickness from about 2 to 16 feet. Occurs above Silver Lake Shale Member of Scranton Shale and below Soldier Creek Shale Member of Bern Limestone. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Virgilian).

Pg. 129, 127 (fig. 37). Burlingame Limestone Member, basal member of Bern Formation of Nemaha subgroup [informal] of Wabaunsee Group. Where exposed in Atchison County, Missouri, is commonly a single, massive bed of argillaceous limestone; average thickness about 2 feet. Uppermost part of this bed contains a large amount of fossil material, which is coated with "Osagia." In Nodaway County, Missouri, composed (from the base upward) of about 1 foot of greenish-gray, dense, algal limestone, 3 to 4 feet of calcareous claystone, and of a few inches of slabby limestone. Shown on stratigraphic section overlying Silver Lake Shale Member of Scranton Formation of Sacfox subgroup [informal] of Wabaunsee Group, and underlying Soldier Creek Shale Member of Bern Formation. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Virgilian).
