PROSSER: UPPER CARBONIFEROUS, OF SOUTHERN KANSAS. DS 7, 
The section just described, as well as the rocks between the two 
Whitewater rivers and to the west of Towanda and the main 
Whitewater river, belong in the Marion formation. On the eastern 
side of the river, in the vicinity of Towanda, are occasional expos- 
ures of buff limestone, but no fossils were found. 
On the divide between the Whitewater and Walnut rivers, four 
miles north of Augusta and one-half mile west, is a small quarry in 
a buff, massive limestone, nine feet of which is exposed. It con- 
tains a layer of flint one inch in thickness and some fossils as: 
Athyris subtitita (Hall) Newb., Productus semireticulatus (Mart. ) 
de IXoninck, Pleurotomaria sp., Archeocidaris sp., and crinoid seg- 
ments. The dip is southerly, and this zone seems to belong in 
that of the Winfield limestone. ! 
On the south bank of the Walnut river, at the highway bridge 
south of Augusta, is an excellent exposure of the Florence flint and 
limestone. The section is as follows:
