Summary:

Pg. 405-432. Haskew gypsum member of Blaine formation. Haskew proposed for top gypsum member of Blaine formation. Differs from underlying Lovedale, Shimer, and Medicine Lodge gypsum members in several particulars. Does not ordinarily have a dolomite bed at base, although a very impure sandy dolomite has been observed in a few places. Maximum thickness of Haskew member in Harper and Woodward Counties, northwestern Oklahoma, 4 feet. Separated from underlying Lovedale gypsum by 4 feet of red shale. Clusters of interlocking crystals on surface of this bed are commonly much smaller than those of underlying Lovedale, Shimer, and Medicine Lodge gypsum members, and bed is redder than the other 3. Age is Permian.
Named from exposures near old store known as Haskew Store, in northeast corner sec. 2, T. 25 N., R. 19 W., Woodward Co., northwestern OK.
