The Cason Shale is a Late Ordovician to Middle Silurian geologic formation in the Ozark Plateaus of Arkansas.[2] The name was introduced in 1894 by Henry Shaler Williams in his study of Arkansas.[1] Williams designated a type locality at what was known as the Cason tract and mine, near Batesville, Independence County, Arkansas, however, he did not assign a stratotype. As of 2017, a reference section has not been designated for this unit.
