Pg. 1061-1064. Englevale channel sandstone. Usually light-brown with reddish-brown specks, micaceous, somewhat massive and cross-bedded. Locally middle part may be darker and lower part slightly shaly. Thickness 0 to 50 feet. Areal distribution is linear, trending north-northwest from Arma for 9 miles, to Crawford County line, the limit of field work. Is younger than Fort Scott limestone, which it cuts, and may possibly be younger than lower part of Labette shale. So far as seen its upper limit is gradational into lower part of Labette shale, and its base cuts into Fort Scott limestone and in places rests on upper part of Cherokee shale. Age is Pennsylvanian.
Best exposed in vicinity of Englevale, Crawford Co., southeastern KS, along north-south road on east side of town and along east-west road 0.5 mi north of town.
