Pg. 15. Confederate limestone member, basal member of Hoxbar formation. Present in Carter County, south-central Oklahoma. Reaches maximum thickness of 60+/- feet at its westernmost outcrop, northwest of Ardmore. Elsewhere it contains conglomerate streaks, with chert and limestone pebbles. Age is Pennsylvanian.

Pg. 39-40. Confederate limestone member, basal member of Hoxbar formation. Consists of two resistent ledges, each 15 to 20 feet thick, of coarsely granular, semi-crystalline gray to buff limestone, sparingly fossiliferous, separated by a 30-foot interval of weaker material, part of which is also limestone. Thins in general to southeast and thickens to northwest. Liess 400+/- feet below Union Dairy member of Hoxbar, and about 3,300 feet above Arnold member of Deese formation. Age is Pennsylvanian. Report includes fossil list, geologic map, columnar section.
Named because it is well exposed a short distance west of Oklahoma Confederate Veterans Home, in SE/4 sec. 36, T. 4 S., R. 1 E., on southwest outskirts of Ardmore, Carter Co., south-central OK.

Pg. 1085. Confederate limestone member of Hoxbar formation. According to revised mapping Confederate limestone member has been traced southeast INTO, instead of BELOW, Westheimer member as mapped west of Hoxbar, near south line of Carter County, south-central Oklahoma. Westheimer limestone can now be dropped and Confederate, geographically preferable, be substituted. This places base of Hoxbar formation slightly higher than base as originally mapped by Goldston (1922). However, as this member is in that area the lowest of the conspicuous limestones which here constitute the most essential distinguishing characteristic of Hoxbar formation as compared to the formations above and below it, and also includes the lowest limestone conglomerate (possibly intraformational) above Bostwick member of Dornick Hills formation it appears most appropriate to continue to regard base of Hoxbar as coincident with base of Confederate limestone member. Age is Pennsylvanian.

Pg. 697, chart 6 (column 37). Confederate limestone. Reallocated to Deese group and given formational status. Base of Hoxbar is drawn above the Confederate limestone, rather than just below it, as the boundary between Desmoinesian and Missourian deposits preferably should coincide with the Deese-Hoxbar contact.

Pg. 6 (fig. 2). Confederate limestone at base of Hoxbar group, Missouri series. At type locality, the Confederate comprises 30 feet of finely crystalline limestone varying from thin bedded to massive and from cream to dark tan in color; overlying 10 feet of calcareous shale with 2 feet or more of dense limestone at base. Crinerville beds (or member) occur 400 to 500 feet above base of Hoxbar.
