Pg. 771-786, 798. Florence flint. Two beds, each 10 feet thick, of massive fossiliferous limestone with prominent layers of flint, separated by 2 feet of white cellular limestone. Included in middle of Chase formation. Underlain by 31 feet of yellowish, chocolate, and greenish shales and overlain by buff shaly limestone. Age is Permian.
Named from Florence, Marion Co., eastern KS.

Pg. 714. Florence flint. This formation is about 20 feet thick and consists of very cherty limestone separated by definite layers of chert, with a band of shaly or white cellular limestone near the center. It is excellently exposed on the McPherson branch of the Atchison, Topeka & Sante Fe RR, and in the Jones quarries along that railroad, from 1 to 2 miles northeast of Florence [Marion County, Kansas], and on this account in 1895 (Jour. Geol., v. 3, p. 773-) it was named the "Florence flint." Overlain by Fort Riley limestone and underlain by Matfield shales. Age is Permian (Chase).

Pg. 45. Florence limestone member of Barneston formation. Limestone, an abundance of flint, and a minor amount of shale; limestone is commonly lighter in color than the included nodules and layers of gray flint; shale partings common locally. Thickness between 35 and 45 feet. Underlies Oketo shale member [of Barneston]; overlies Blue Springs shale member of Matfield shale. Assigned to Wolfcamp Series (Lower Permian).

Florence Limestone Member of Barneston Formation of Chase Group; Florence Flint of Chase Group. Recognized in eastern Kansas, southeastern Nebraska, and central northern Oklahoma. Because of large amount of flint or chert it contains, the limestone has been known generally as the Florence flint. Age is Permian.

(Paleozoic Era; Permian System by H.G. O'Connor, D.E. Zeller, C.K. Bayne, J.M Jewett, and Ada Swineford, p. 48.) Florence Limestone Member of Barneston Limestone of Chase Group. In Kansas, chiefly limestone with an abundance of chert and a minor amount of shale. The limestone is light-gray to yellowish-gray in color with nodules and layers of bluish-gray chert. Fossils include brachiopods, pelecypods, bryozoans, and fusulinids. Thickness 12 to 45 feet. Occurs above Blue Springs Shale Member of Matfield Shale and below Oketo Shale Member of Barneston Limestone. Age is Early Permian; Gearyan Provincial Stage (of H.G. O'Connor, 1963, AAPG Bull., v. 47, p. 1873-1877).
