Pg. 3, 39. Dog Creek shales in Kiger division. Dull red argillaceous shales, 30 feet thick, with laminae of gypsum in basal part and one or two ledges of dolomite in upper part. Basal formation of Kiger division. Overlain by Red Bluff sandstones and underlain by Shimer gypsum member of Cave Creek formation. [In 1897 (Amer. Geol., v. 19, p. 351-363) Cragin suggested Stony Hills as more appropriate name than Dog Creek for these beds, which he also removed from his Kiger division and included in top of his Salt Fork division.] Age is Permian.
[Named from Dog Creek, Barber Co., central southern KS. Present in Barber, Comanche, and Clark Cos., KS, and in western OK.]

Pg. 24 (fig. 6), 34-36, pl. 1. Dog Creek shale of El Reno group. Described in Harper County, western Oklahoma, where it conformably overlies Blaine formation and is unconformable below Whitehorse formation. Consists of reddish-buff gypsiferous shale with thin beds of red sandstone and gypsum. Thickness 25 to 50 feet. Uppermost formation of El Reno group. Age is Early Permian (Guadalupian). [On p. 36 refers to El Reno group, Leonardian series.]

Is the upper formation of the El Reno Group. Overlies unit 6 of the Van Vacter Member of the Dog Creek Shale. Underlies Whitehorse Group disconformably. Has several widespread gypsum and dolomite beds. Divided into a lower unnamed red-brown and green-gray shale, Hollis Dolomite Bed, Hollis gypsum bed, unnamed red-brown and gray-green shale, Guthrie Dolomite Bed, Guthrie gypsum bed, unnamed red-brown and green-gray shale, and McQueen Gypsum Bed (first used). Recognized in Palo Duro basin of southwest OK and adjoining TX. Measured sections. Permian age.
