Comments | Named from town of Hennessey, northern Kingfisher Co, OK, (Aurin and others, 1926). in the Anadarko basin. The shales of the Hennessey are rarely fissile or laminated; instead they are more commonly blocky and break with a conchoidal fracture with the appearance of "joint clay." Characterized by numerous bands or streaks which are white or light green in color varying in thickness from a few inches to 4+ ft. (S. Oklahoma folded belt province). |
