PAWPAW FORMATION 



Eastward from the turning point of the Comanchean outcrops in the 

 Red River uplifted area near Orlena, Cooke County, Texas, the Pawpaw is 

 a ferruginous sandstone or an unconsolidated sand. This outcrop runs 

 down the Red River valley in a direction a little south of east, lying in 

 Cooke and Grayson Counties, Texas, and in Love, Marshall, Bryan, and 

 Choctaw Counties, Oklahoma.
