This formation was named for the bluffs within Kansas City, Missouri. [3] Primary group outcrops are in northwest Missouri.
The Council Grove Group is a geologic group in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska as well as subsurface Colorado. It preserves fossils dating to the Carboniferous - Permian boundary.
