Pg. 92, 97. Corbin City member of Drum limestone of Kansas City group. It is proposed to use Drum limestone as a formation name, and to recognize the light-blue [nonoolltic] lower bed as Cement City member and the upper bed of oolitic limestone as Corbin City member. The Corbin City (named for a locality just south of Cherryvale [Montgomery Co.]), is very local in development, but appears to be represented in Kansas City section by a thin bed of granular fossiliferous limestone spearated by a few inches of shale from main body of Cement City limestone. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Missouri age).

Pg. 106-107. Corbin City limestone member of Drum limestone of Kansas City group. Rests disconformably on Cement City limestone member in southern Kansas. To southwest, west, and northwest of Coffeyville it is represented by limestone conglomerate. Thickness of member ranges from feather edge to 50+/- feet. Near Kansas City, Missouri, a limestone 1 foot or less thick, separated from Cement City limestone by a few inches of fossiliferous shale, is thought to represent Corbin City member. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Missouri age).

Corbin City Limestone Member of Drum Limestone of Linn subgroup [informal] of Kansas City Group. Chiefly light-gray oolitic, crossbedded limestone that is abundantly fossiliferous. Best developed in vicinity of Independence (Montgomery County), where it is 50+ feet thick. Represented by a few feet of limestone conglomerate near Coffeyville, Montgomery County, and by 1 foot or less of chiefly oolitic limestone in the Kansas City area. Fossils are abundant in the thick oolitic facies. A few inches of shale that lies between the two limestone members of the Drum at some exposures is included with the Corbin City Member. In southeastern Kansas, seemingly rests disconformably on the Dewey Limestone. In vicinity of Cherryvale in Montgomery County, the oolitic limestone of the upper member fills depressions nearly 5 feet deep in the lower limestone. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Missourian).
