Summary:
Fargo Bed (of Kloc, 1983) described as a thin persistent calcareous bed with diverse fauna characteristic of the Lakeview Bed. Fargo overlies the Darien Coral Bed. All are assigned to the Darien Center Submember of the Wanakah Shale Member of the Ludlowville Formation, along with several other beds. The Fargo and the shales immediately above and below are characterized by the presence of large articulated brachiopods. The Wanakah and all its beds are Middle Devonian.
