Summary:

Pg. 133-145. Pueblo limestone member of Pueblo formation of Cisco [group]. Pueblo formation is bounded at top by Pueblo limestone [Camp Colorado limestone], which is yellow, fossiliferous, and impure. Near Red Bed line in Stephens County, central northern Texas, it changes to sand and loses its identity, but just below its horizon is a thin limestone abundant in MYALINA fossils [pelecypods], which characterize this bed. [Age is Pennsylvanian.]
