Summary:

Name proposed for the basal member (of 3) of Wann formation (new) of Sapulpa group. Consists of a single bed of limestone which in its northern extension is heavily bedded and massive but to the south is thin-bedded and argillaceous. Fossils fairly abundant. Occurs at the Kansas state line about 2 miles west of Coffeyville, Kansas, extending south to a point opposite Delaware; in northeast corner T. 26 N., R. 14 E., spreads over a wide area, making a dip slope westward to Hogshooter Creek and continuing down west bank of that stream; crosses Caney River 3 miles northeast of Ochelata and extends due south to Ramona. Thickness at the state line is about 10 feet; is 6 or 8 feet thick along Hogshooter Creek; is 4 feet thick at Ramona. Overlies Curl formation (new) of Sapulpa group and underlies Copan member (new) of Wann formation of the Sapulpa group. Is continuous with the lower part of the Drum formation of Kansas. Age is Pennsylvanian. Report includes stratigraphic chart.
Type locality not designated. Named from Hogshooter Creek, Washington Co., OK [Chautauqua platform].

Summary:

In 1925 the beds overlying Hogshooter limestone were named Nellie Bly formation. The Hogshooter rests on Coffeyville formation. In central Oklahoma it becomes a member of Francis formation. Its thickness is 5 to 19 feet.

Summary:

Pg. 39-47; 1940, AAPG Bull., v. 24, no. 4, p. 720 (table1), 723-725. Hogshooter limestone. Included in Skiatook group. As defined here, is substantially equivalent to Dennis formation of Kansas, as redefined by Jewett, 1932 (Kansas Geol. Soc. Gdbk., 6th Ann. Field Conf.). As a formal formation name for this unit, Dennis is perhaps older, but Hogshooter is oldest name in Oklahoma for this formation and is firmly entrenched in literature and usage; therefore, name Dennis is rejected, and Hogshooter retained in Oklahoma. Underlies Nellie Bly formation; overlies Coffeyville formation. Includes (at various places) Winterset limestone, Stark shale, Canville limestone, and Lost City limestone member. Age is Pennsylvanian (Missourian).
Type locality stated: along Hogshooter Creek, T. 26 N., R. 14 E., Washington Co., OK.
