Summary:

Lake Kemp limestone lies at top of Lueders formation and 45+/- feet higher than Maybelle limestone. [The top limestone of Lueders formation in Jones and Taylor Counties was called Lueders limestone by P.A. Meyers and H.T. Morley (Texas Bur. Econ. Geol., geol. maps of Jones and Taylor Counties, 1929), but this name is preoccupied by Lueders formation. Age is Permian.]

Summary:

Sheet 2. Lake Kemp limestone. Examination of type outcrops of Maybelle and Lake Kemp beds affords no satisfactory ground for classing the limestones as part of the Lueders. No basis found for recognizing any limestone beds of the Lueders in Colorado River area [mapped in this report] as corresponding to Maybelle and Lake Kemp beds, respectively.
