Pg. 99, 102, 103. See also J.M. Jewett, 1933 (Kansas Acad. Sci. Trans., v. 36, p. 131-136). Canville limestone is proposed for limestone next above Galesburg shale and below Stark shale. Been traced by writer from T. 18 S. to T. 29 S. Generally about 3 feet thick, bluish gray, fossiliferous. In southern part of its outcrop it sets off the sandstone and sandy shale (Dodds Creek sandstone) of underlying Galesburg shale from overlying black platy Stark shale, and in northern part it separates the yellow shale, the Galesburg, from the black Stark shale. In northern part of Linn County it is represented by very calcareous shale less than 1 foot thick. Its horizon is known at Kansas City by the plane between Galesburg and Stark shales, which are easily recognized by the color and fossils. Age is Pennsylvanian. Report includes cross section.
Named from Canville Creek, Neosho Co., KS. R.C. Moore, 1936 (Kansas Geol. Survey Bull., no. 22), stated that Jewett is author of this name.

Pg. 68 (fig. 14), 90-91. Canville limestone member of Dennis formation. Underlies Stark shale; overlies Galesburg formation. This is classification agreed upon by State Geological Surveys of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. In Kansas, locally, a single layer about 1 foot thick; where thickness is greater, up to maximum of 3 feet, two or three beds may occur; member thins southward from type region. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Missourian).
