The Flowerpot Fm. is a brackisch water to marine red-bed formation interfingering with the continental Chickasha Formation. The formation is bounded above by the medicine Lodge gypsum Member of the highly gypsiferous Blaine formation and below by the Hennessey Formation.
Pollen and spores have been recovered from the upper 10-35 feet of the flowerpot Formation of western Oklahoma. Samples are from 46 localities in four counties (Woods, Woodward, Major, Blaine) of North central Oklahoma and three counties (Beckham, Greer, Kiowa) of southwestern Oklahoma. The strata from which sporomorphs have been recoveried lie at the top of the formation, including horizons E through I of Fay (1964) in north central Oklahoma and the interval from the Kiser Gypsum Member to the top of the formation in the southwestern part of the state.\r\n
