Pg. 27-28, 118. Cement City limestone bed of Chanute shale member of Kansas City formation. Present in northwestern Missouri and eastern Kansas. Thin but fairly persistent bed of gray, buff, or cream-colored limestone, 5 to 10 feet thick, lying 5 to 20 feet above base of Chanute shale member of Kansas City formation. Is believed to be Parkville limestone of Gallaher. At Kansas City it is known as "Gray ledge" or "Building ledge." Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Missouri age).
Named from Cement City, Jackson Co., northwestern MO.

[See GNC remark (ca. 1930-1935) under Drum limestone.] Cement City limestone member of Drum limestone of Kansas City group. Divided Drum limestone into Corbin City limestone above and Cement City limestone below and this definition of Cement City limestone was followed by Moore and G.E. Condra in their Oct. 1932 revised classification chart of Pennsylvanian rocks of Kansas and Nebraska. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Missouri age).

Pg. 43+. Cement City limestone is basal part of true Drum limestone. This has been verified by R.C. Moore. The Chanute shale of Hinds and Greene included true Chanute, true Drum, and underlying Quivira shale of this report. The Quivira is top part of Cherryvalle shale. The Corbin City and Cement City limestone members of Drum limestone are unconformable. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Missouri age).

Pg. 2030, 2031 (fig. 4). Cement City limestone member of Drum limestone. Underlies Corbin City limestone member; overlies Quivira shale member of Cherryvale formation. Northeastward tracing proves that Dewey member of the Frum is the same as limestone called Cement City in Kansas City area. Dewey has priority over Cement City (Hinds and Greene, 1915) and is recognized as a formational unit by Oklahoma Geological Survey. Kansas Geological Survey has used Cement City for lower member of Drum limestone and Cement City was recognized by the interstate conference (May, 1947). Kansas proposes to deviate from the interstate classification by adopting Dewey instead of Cement City. Other State Surveys will continue to recognized Cement City until question of stratigraphic identity of the type of this unit (near Kansas City) and the Dewey is removed. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Missourian).

(Paleozoic Era; Pennsylvanian System by J.M Jewett, H.G. O'Connor, and D.E. Zeller, p. 21-43.) Rocks of "Cement City limestone," locally recognized in Kansas City area, northeastern Kansas, are included in Dewey Limestone Member of Drum Limestone (Moore, 1948).

Includes oolitic facies previously assigned to overlying Corbin City Limestone Member (discarded). At reference section consists of (descending): (1) cross-bedded fossiliferous limestone with 3 to 6 inch thick beds of sand-sized fossil grains with micritic envelopes, 3.5 feet thick; (2) gray shale, 0.25 inch thick; and (3) thick-bedded tan limestone, 3 feet 10 inches thick. Total thickness 7+ feet. Overlies Quivira Shale Member of Dewey. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Missourian).
