Haynies limestone, 8 inches to 1 foot thick in southeast Nebraska, 9 inches in southwest Iowa, 1 foot-8 inches in northwest Missouri, and 2+ feet in northeast Kansas. Underlies Mission Creek shale and overlies Larsh shale, all included in Deer Creek limestone. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Missouri age).

Summary:

Pg. 186. Haynies member seems exactly to correspond to upper bed of Plummer limestone as originally defined, and it is possible Rock Bluff limestone, Larsh shale, and Haynies limestone together are = original Plummer limestone. [On p. 187 he stated:] Because shale between Ervine Creek limestone and Rock Bluff limestone in Kansas appears to be exactly = Larsh shale, Haynies limestone, and Mission Creek shale of Nebraska it is here called [/]Larsh-Mission Creek shale member of Deer Creek limestone. It is 2.5 to 7 feet thick. [He omitted Haynies limestone from this 1936 classification for Kansas.]

Summary:

Pg. 17-18, fig. 5. Haynies limestone member of Deer Creek limestone. Well exposed in outcrops and quarries near Pacific Junction, Mills County, southwestern Iowa, where it is a single massive bed, dark-gray, argillaceous, and fossiliferous. Thickness 1 foot or less. Underlies Burroak shale; overlies Larsh shale. Where Haynies is absent Burroak and Larsh shales coalesce and are difficult to differentiate. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Virgilian).
