Pg. 142, 143, 145; 1947, Jour. Geol., v. 55, no. 3, pt. 2, p. 196 (table 2), 197, 198. Soldiers limestone member of Big Saline formation. Consists of light-gray coarsely crystalline, massively bedded, crinoidal fossiliferous limestone. Thinnest southwest of Rochelle, thickens westward to 75 feet at Brady, and nearly 200 feet at Big Saline Creek, Kimble County, central Texas. West of Cavern Ridge, overlies Brook Ranch member (new) and, near Cavern Ridge, lies above beds with same lithology as that of Lemons Bluff spiculite at Lemons Bluff. Its stratigraphic position above beds of Lemons Bluff lithology suggests that Soldiers member has stratigraphic position similar to that of Brister member east of Cavern Ridge, although it differs from the Brister. Age is Early Pennsylvanian.
