The Devonian Fishes of Missouri (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Devonian Fishes of Missouri
Mr. Rowley says of the occurrence of these fossils: I have found them in the one-foot dark blue shale under the Louisiana or lithographic limestone, from the top of the shale quite to the bottom, but most abundant from the middle to the top. Just under the Louisiana limestone is a thin band of yellow sandy shale, from a fraction of an inch to two and one-half inches thick, well filled with the same fossils as the limestone above. In places, especially where the yellow shale is thin, the fossils extend downward, sometimes two or three inches, thus invading the fish bone horizon.
