Kansas City Group

▪ rocks, United States
      division of Late Carboniferous rocks (318 million to 299 million years ago) in the United States. The division was named for exposures studied in the region of Kansas City, Mo. Rocks of the Kansas City Group underlie those of the Lansing Group and overlie those of the Pleasanton Group, all of which are included within the Missourian Series. The Kansas City Group consists of six limestone formations that alternate with six shale units. The rocks are fossiliferous and contain important fusulinid genera useful for stratigraphic correlation.
