CLINTON- "Chickasha Formation," Pc, reddish-brown to maroon mudstone conglomerate with some shale, silstone, and fine- to coarse-grained sandstone; thickness, about 600 feet; gradational northward and westward into the Flowerpot Shale and the Blaine Formation and westward into Dog Creek Shale. OKLAHOMA CITY-Variegated mudstone conglomerate and red-brown to orange- brown silty shale and siltstone, with minor amounts of orange-brown fine-grained sandstone; upper part grades northward into "Dog Creek Shale", "Blaine Formation", "Flowerpot Shale", and upper part of "Cedar Hills Sandstone"; lower part grades into "Duncan Sandstone". Thickness, about 100 feet near Chickasha and 300 feet near Okarche.
