Summary:
Pg. 19-20, fig. 3. Goen limestone member (Goen limestone bed) of Grindstone Creek formation. In Parker County, north-central Texas, limestone is 1 to 2 feet thick and is gray to yellowish-gray. Limestone either lenses out to east, or its eroded edge is covered by debris from dissected dip slope of underlying sandstone. Occurs at top of formation. Overlies unnamed sandstone above the Santo limestone member; underlies Mingus [shale] member of Garner formation. Age is Pennsylvanian. Report follows classification of Cheney (1940) [but also refers to this unit as a limestone bed].
[Misprint (USGS Bull. 1200, p. 1534): Goen limestone is part of Grindstone Creek, not Grindstone.]
