(Searight, IN Howe and Searight, 1953, Missouri Geol. Survey and Water Res. Rpt. Inv., no. 14, pl. 1). Cabaniss group.

Pg. 1524 (fig. 1), 1526. Cabaniss group. Defined to include all rocks that crop out above Krebs group (new) and below base of Marmaton group. Extends from northeast flank of Arbuckle Mountains northeastward to Kansas-Oklahoma line and comprises (ascending) Thurman sandstone, Stuart shale, and Senora formation. In northern Oklahoma, top of group is base of Fort Scott limestone; between Arkansas River and Arbuckle Mountains base is Calvin limestone. Thickness 1,000 feet in latitude of Cabaniss; thins southwestward and northeastward due to overlap of lower units by higher as well as thinning within units; about 200 feet along Arbuckle Mountains; 350 feet at Arkansas River; 160 feet at Kansas-Oklahoma line. Krebs and Cabaniss groups together are nearly but not quite the same stratigraphically as Cherokee rocks of southeastern Kansas. Age is Middle Pennsylvanian (Des Moines).
Named from village of Cabaniss, in T. 6 N., R. 12 E., northwestern Pittsburg Co., OK.

Pg. 22 (fig. 5), 44-46. Cabaniss subgroup [informal]. Term Cherokee group readopted, and Cabaniss reduced in rank of subgroup [informal]. In southeastern Kansas, Cabaniss succession extended from top of Seville limestone in Krebs subgroup [informal] to base of Blackjack Creek limestone, which is lower Marmaton. Thickness about 200 feet. Age is Middle Pennsylvanian (Des Moines).
["Subgroup" not recognized as a formal stratigraphic rank term (CSN, 1933; ACSN, 1961, 1970; NACSN, 1983, 2005, 2021). Considered informal and should not be capitalized.]

A 6-21 ft thick sandstone about 142 ft below top of Senora Formation of Cabaniss Group named Oowala Limestone Member of Senora. Senora is the only formation in the Cabaniss Group in report area. Cabaniss overlies Boggy Formation of Krebs Group and underlies Fort Scott Formation of Marmaton Group. Report area lies on the Chautauqua platform of OK.
