Title: New Data on the Comanchean Strata of Central Kansas

Author(s): W. H. Twenhofel, A. C. Tester

Abstract:

New stratigraphic sections and information on the distribution of the fossil-bearing members are offered. The writers conclude that (1) cone-in-cone always occurs with the Windom member, and rarely at any other stratigraphic position; (2) the interval between the two marine members of the Comanchean decreases eastward, southward, and westward; (3) the lithic character of the Mentor member varies greatly and the variation in the fauna is equally as great; (4) the Windom member is persistent lithologically, although the fauna varies considerably; and (5) because of the persistent distribution and position of the cone-in-cone layers they may be considered of much correlative value.
