"Millsap Lake Formation
The formation is largely shales with some conglomerates and thin
sandstones. Limestones are present but are thin and usually lenticular in
character. The members are, in descending order, Grindstone Creek beds,
Brannon limestone, Steussy shales, Meek Bend limestone, Hill Creek beds,
Dennis Bridge limestone, Kickapoo Falls limestone, Lazy Bend beds,
and Dickerson beds (1398c). The part of the formation exposed measures
1600 feet. Fossils, including fusulinids, brachiopods, corals, bryozoa,
bivalves, and gastropods, are locally abundant, being found chiefly in the
lentils of limestone.
Type locality: Millsap Lake, Parker County;
maximum thickness, 3000 feet or more."
