Summary:

Hart limestone member of Stratford formation. A series of alternating limestones, shales, and sandstones that constitute basal member of Stratford formation. In vicinity of Hart the limestones are very prominent, but toward north and south some of them thin out while others grade into shale. As a rule arkosic material is not abundant in the limestones, but it is always present, and in a few beds constitutes large proportion of the rock. [Regarding age, see Stratford formation.]
Named from typical development near village of Hart, western part of Pontotoc Co., central southern OK.
