Pg. 503-520. Lequire sandstone member of McAlester shale. Massive sandstone; medium texture; friable; brown to gray; plant remains. Thickness in Muskogee-Porum area 12 to 25 feet. Lies 8 to 40 feet above Warner sandstone member and 40 feet below Cameron sandstone member. Age is Pennsylvanian. Report includes geologic map, columnar sections, measured sections.
Named from exposure a little north of Lequire, in secs. 4 and 5, T. 7 N., R. 22 E., and secs. 32, 33, and 34, T. 8 N., R. 22 E., Haskell Co., eastern OK. Recognized in Muskogee, Haskell, McIntosh, and adjacent counties.

Pg. 37-38, pl. 1. Lequire sandstone member of McAlester formation. Further described in Haskell County, eastern Oklahoma, where it is made up largely of thin slabby beds of fine-grained sandstone, commonly showing ripple marks. At type locality, total computed thickness about 150 feet. In some areas, rests on Warner sandstone member but, in other areas, is separated from it by an unnamed member of variable thickness; separated from overlying Keota sandstone member by an unnamed shale member. Type locality mentioned by Wilson (1935) is inapplicable because it is in reality occupied by outcrops of the Warner; new type locality designated. Age is Middle Pennsylvanian (Des Moines). Report includes geologic map, measured sections, nomenclature history.
Type locality: in sec. 31, T. 8 N., E. 21 E., 1.5 mi northwest of Lequire, Haskell Co., eastern OK.
