  • Shale bluffs at Cow Island, Montana in the Missouri River Breaks adjoining Fort Benton, the type location of the Benton Shale. As seen in this image, the overlying Niobrara Formation is not as distinct from the Benton Shale as in the lower plains and these shales were later reclassified as Colorado Shale. The Benton name was abandoned here in favor of subdivision as Belle Fourche Shale, Greenhorn Limestone, and Carlile Shale. (en)
