Wilmarth, Secretary of Committee on Geologic Names, USGS unpub. corr. chart, Oct. 1936, sheet 2


Summary:

Pg. 90, 97. Schubert Creek limestone member of Swope limestone of Bronson group. As described elsewhere in this guidebook by Jewett, the lowermost formation of Bronson group includes 3 limestone lentils which are named (ascending order) Schubert Creek, Critizer [Critzer], and Sniabar. The Schubert Creek limestone was apparently studied by Hinds and Greene (1915, Missouri Bur. Geol. and Mines, v. 13) in vicinity of Uniontown as a supposedly authentic representative of "Hertha" limestone in Kansas, and this rock was correlated by them with the prominent limestone that appears next below Bethany Falls limestone in Kansas City and northwest Missouri district. Latter bed is now called Sniabar. Age is Late Pennsylvanian (Missouri age). [See also under Swope limestone.]

Summary:

Pg. 41. Name introduced by [Jewett] for lower member of Hertha. Later it was found that this limestone is the one called Hertha at Kansas City. Kansas Geological Survey now uses names Sniabar limestone, Mound City shale, and Critzer limestone as members of the Hertha.
