Pg. 387, 417. Stockwether bed in Cisco division. Mostly hard, rather brittle, rough-weathering gray, containing yellowish or light-colored chert nodules. Thickness 15 to 25 feet. Member of Cisco division. Overlies Coon Mountain bed and is separated from overlying Camp Colorado limestone by bed No. 13 (40 to 75 feet of clay, mostly reddish). [Age is Pennsylvanian.]

Wallace Lee and C.O. Nickell (manuscript ready for publication by Texas Geol. Survey) define Stockwether limestone member of Pueblo formation as overlying Coon Mountain sandstone member, which rests on Camp Creek shale member of Pueblo formation. This is approved definition of the USGS.

Stockwether Limestone [unranked] in Pueblo Formation of Cisco Group. Fine-grained, locally argillaceous. South of Cretaceous divide contains gray and brown chert distributed irregularly through an interval of about 2 feet, gray to light brown, locally cut out by broad channel fills, some crinoid columnals and burrow casts in basal part. Thickness 1 to 12 feet, in central area 1 to 3 feet, feathers out northward near U.S. Highway 180. Lies above Saddle Creek Limestone [unranked] in Pueblo Formation and below Camp Colorado Limestone ("Noodle Creek Limestone") [unranked] in Moran Formation of Cisco Group. Age is Early Permian (Wolfcampian).
Mapped in Brown, Eastland, and Stephens Cos., central northern TX. [See also adjacent Geol. Atlas Texas, Brownwood sheet, 1976, to south.]

Stockwether Limestone [unranked] in middle of Pueblo Formation of Cisco Group. Microgranular to north, medium-grained to south, abundant light-colored chert to south, generally resistant, very light gray to light yellowish gray, weathers light gray to dark gray, commonly cut out to north by channel-fill bodies, forms scarp to
south, generally unfossiliferous, some crinoid fragments, bryozoa, and algae near top; thickness 2 to 4 feet in north, 15 to 18 feet in south. Lies above Camp Creek Shale and below Salt Creek Bend Shale [both unranked] in Pueblo. Age is Early Permian (Wolfcampian).
