Faunal Correlation of the Ellenburger Limestone of Texas
Introduction Work in the last few years has brought out several interesting facts regarding the stratigraphy of the Ellenburger limestone of the Central Mineral Region of Texas. The senior author spent about six weeks in the area, measuring detailed sections and making many fossil collections.
