Pg. 40, 43, 49, 50. Ervine Creek limestone bed of Deer Creek limestone member of Shawnee formation. Is top unit in Deer Creek limestone. It is 24 to 28 feet thick in southeastern Nebraska, 22.5 feet thick in southwestern Iowa, 16 feet thick at Forbes, Missouri, and 12 feet thick in Kansas Valley east of Topeka, Kansas. Its thickest and best-known development is near Louisville, Nebraska. Overlies Mission Creek shale and underlies Jones Point shale, the basal bed of Calhoun shale. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Missouri age). Report includes cross sections, measured sections, geologic maps, stratigraphic tables.
Named from Ervine Creek, northeast of Union, Cass Co., southeastern NE.

Pg. 11. Ervine Creek limestone member of Deer Creek limestone formation of Shawnee group. Transferred Jones Point shale and overlying limestone to Calhoun shale, leaving his Ervine Creek limestone the top bed of Deer Creek limestone. This classification was adopted by R.C. Moore, 1936 (Kansas Geol. Survey Bull., no. 22, p. 48), but on p. 187-194 he proposed to redefine Ervine Creek limestone, Jones Point shale, and Sheldon limestone on a cyclothem basis. (See 1936 entry under Sheldon limestone.) Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Virgil).

Pg. 2035 (fig. 5). Ervine Creek limestone member of Deer Creek limestone. Uppermost member of Deer Creek; overlies Burroak shale member; underlies Calhoun formation. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Virgilian). This is classification agreed upon the State Geological Surveys of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma, May 1947.

Pg. 22. Ervine Creek limestone member of Deer Creek limestone. Member persists from Adair County, Iowa, to Oklahoma. Thickness 14 to 18 feet. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Virgilian). Type exposures noted.
Type exposures: on Ervine Creek, about 5 mi northeast of Union, Cass Co., southeastern NE.

Pg. 17-19, fig. 3. Ervine Creek limestone member of Deer Creek limestone. In Missouri, interval between Rock Bluff limestone member and uppermost limestone of the Deer Creek is occupied by shale. This shale has been treated by Missouri Geol. Survey as occupying the Rock Bluff-Ervine Creek interval, with implication that intervening Haynies limestone is absent in Missouri. This shale interval is here termed [/]Larsh-Burroak. Missouri Geol. Survey recognized the possibility that Burroak shale member may be absent in Missouri and uppermost limestone of Deer Creek formation may include both Haynies and Ervine Creek limestone members.
