Summary:

Pg. 92, 97. Cottage Grove sandstone in Chanute shale of Kansas City group. In central and southern Kansas the Chanute includes a persistent bed of sandstone (Cottage Grove), and just beneath the sandstone is Thayer coal. These beds persist into northern Oklahoma and are of value in correlation of adjacent limestones. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Missouri age).
