Summary:
Pg. 12, 16 (fig. 2). Inola limestone member of Boggy formation of Krebs group. Immediately above Bluejacket sandstone member is sequence of four cyclical units, each containing zone of marine fossils. Cap rock limestone of lowest of these cycles contains abundant fusulinids. Name Inola here restricted to lowest limestone, the only one that yields fusulinids (collections from western Mayes County, northeastern Oklahoma). Fusulinids reported from Inola at type locality, Inola Mound (citing Charles Ryniker, 1953, pers. commun.). Age is Middle Pennsylvanian (Desmoinesian). (Krebs group of M.C. Oakes, 1953, AAPG Bull., v. 37, p. 1523.)
