p. 67-78. Glen Rose limestone of Trinity group. At generalized reference section of Trinity division, Glen Rose limestone consists of lower unit and an upper unit. Lower subdivision, that is interval below CORBULA bed, is predominantly massive medium- to thick-bedded limestone with local mound-like concentrations of corals and caprinids in basal and upper parts. The lower Glen Rose above the massive limestone is largely shale alternating with thin-bedded limestones and is highly fossiliferous with several levels of ORBITULINA, the large Foraminifera used as a subsurface Glen Rose marker. Trinity section above CORBULA bed consists predominantly of buff-colored shales and fine-grained dolomites in lower and upper parts with darker shales and more resistant fossiliferous limestone in middle. The alternating relation of these lithic types resulted in early designation of "Alternating Beds" for the Glen Rose strata. Formal name was proposed by Hill (1891) from exposures near Glen Rose, Somervell County, Texas. Upper limit of Glen Rose in this area is placed at concordant contact of uppermost dolomitic section with overlying limestones similar to those higher in Fredericksburg division. Glen Rose is completely exposed from Hamilton Pool eastward to the Shingle Hills and has local thickness of 525 feet. Overlies Hensell sand. Lower Glen Rose contains basal coral reef at narrows of Blanco River. [Age is Early Cretaceous.]

Pg. 2328-2363. Terms Glen Rose, Glen Rose undifferentiated, and Glen Rose subgroup, as used in this report [stratigraphy of Comanchean Cretaceous Trinity group], all refer to those rocks below top of Glen Rose as defined in Austin area and above top of either Pearsall formation or its equivalent. These terms are used in areas where the Ferry Lake is not recognizable. Undifferentiated Glen Rose time-stratigraphic unit is defined to include those rocks below isochronous surface contemporaneous with top of Glen Rose as defined in Austin area and above isochronous surface contemporaneous with base of Rodessa formation as defined in type area. Rusk formation (new) occupies stratigraphic interval formerly termed upper Glen Rose formation and Paluxy formation. Top of Trinity group, as term is used in present report, is defined as top of Glen Rose formation of the Austin area and its equivalents. Subsurface data. [Age is Early Cretaceous.]

Glen Rose Formation. Mapped in Brewster and Presidio Counties, Texas. Consists of alternating resistant limestone ledges and soft marls which weather to form a characteristic stairstep topography; in the Solitario Uplift, because of narrow outcrop width, a basal conglomerate resting on Paleozoic rocks and local patches of limestone and marl of the Glen Rose beneath a much younger felsite sill are included with the sill that encircles the rim; the remaining 900 feet or so above the felsite sill is characteristic of the Glen Rose to the east; also includes basal Cretaceous conglomerate in Horseshoe Mesa-Pine Mountain area. Thickness 335 to 500 feet in Big Bend National Park and northward, rests on Paleozoic rocks, 733 feet measured in Black Gap area, base not exposed. Overlies Paleozoic rocks. Underlies Maxon Sandstone in vicinity of Santiago Mountains and central Brewster County; southward (where Maxon has feathered out) underlies Telephone Canyon Formation. Age is Early Cretaceous.
