Pg. 31. Dover limestone. Limestone, 4 feet or less thick, in Upper Coal Measures of Shawnee County, northeastern Kansas. Age is Pennsylvanian. [From statement on p. 28 appears to underlie Rossville shales and sandstone and to overlie Dover shale and sandstone.]

Pg. 72, 73, 74, 75, 80, 90, 116, 222. Dover limestone bed of McKissick Grove shale member of Wabaunsee formation. Beede's Dover shale and sandstone, Dover limestone, and Rossville shale and sandstone occupy practically all of interval represented by Admire shale member, but only one of these is acceptably defined; it is Dover limestone, which extends northward to Nebraska and Iowa. It is composed of one impure massive gray limestone or of 2 limestones separated by a thin shale. It underlies Pony Creek shale and overlies Table Creek shale, all included in McKissick Grove shale. Thickness 2 to 4 feet. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Missouri age). Report includes cross sections, measured sections, geologic maps, stratigraphic tables.
Named from exposures near Dover [Shawnee Co.], northeastern KS.

Pg. 94, 96. Dover limestone member of McKissick Grove formation of Wabaunsee group. Between Maple Hill limestone member of McKissick Grove formation and overlying Brownville limestone are two, instead of one, persistent limestones. The upper one is distinguished by occurrence of coal a few inches to 2 or 3 feet beneath the limestone. The lower limestone is characterized by abundance of large TRITICITES and Cryptozoon, and, except for generally lighter color, very closely resembles Tarkio limestone. Both of these limestones between the Maple Hill and Brownville have been identified at various places in Kansas and Nebraska as Dover limestone. Study of Beede's original description of the Dover and examination in field near Dover convince writer that lower of the 2 limestones is true Dover, and name Jim Creek, from a locality in central Pottawatomie County, Kansas, where entire section is well exposed, is selected for the upper limestone just above the coal. Condra's name Table Creek shale (which includes Nyman coal) is restricted to shale between the Jim Creek and the Dover, and the new name Frenck shale [French Creek] (from a creek northwest of Onaga, Kansas) is adopted for the shale between the Dover and Maple Hill limestone. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Virgil).

Transposed the names Frenck [French] shale and Table Creek shale restricted, by applying former name to shale overlying Dover limestone and latter name to shale underlying Dover limestone.

Dover limestone of Wabaunsee group. The shale overlying Dover limestone and underlying Grandhaven limestone in Kansas is here named Dry shale. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Virgil).

Pg. 12, fig. 5. Dover limestone of Wabaunsee group. Consists of two limestone beds separated by thin bed of gray shale. Upper limestone is dense, gray, unfossiliferous, and weathers buff; lower limestone is dark gray to black, weathering to nodular form with many white fragments of DERBYIA, CHONETES, and CRURITHYRIS. Thickness about 3 feet. Underlies Dry shale; overlies Table Creek shale. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Virgilian).

Pg. 6-7, pl. 1. Dover limestone member of Stotler limestone of Wabaunsee group. Moore's (1949) Dover restricted to upper limestone bed (containing algal deposits); middle and lower limestone beds included in Maple Hill limestone and Wamego shale members of Zeandale limestone, respectively. Overlies Pillsbury shale and underlies Dry shale member of Stotler. Distribution of fossils collected from the Dover is given in table 1 (sheet 1). Fossils include: fusulinids, coelentrates, crinoids, bryozoans, brachiopods, pelecypods, gastropods, algae. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Virgilian). Report includes measured sections, correlation diagrams, fossil distribution charts. [Report submitted for publication before release of 1961 ACSN code, recommending capitalization of formal names.]
