| Leibenthal | Fairport marker F-3 (Carlile Formation) |
Ellis, Rush |
Small carvings | "Leibenthal" is Felten's own name for the somewhat red-ish "little limestone above the little limestone above the Fencepost limestone". |
| Bedford | Indiana Limestone |
(Indiana) | Monarch of the Plains | Bedford is not a Kansas stone, but there is a lot of Bedford in Kansas, because a lot of Bedford is used in the Midwest. |
| Silverdale | Fort Riley Limestone (Barneston Formation) |
Riley, Cowley |
The Nun | Fort Riley Limestone is much finer in texture with hardly any visible fossils, and is more suitable for large works than Cottonwood. |
| Cottonwood | Cottonwood Limestone (Beattie Formation) |
Riley, Chase |
Hadley Memorial | Cottonwood is adequate for large, rough finish sculpture. It has abundant Fusulinids and it tends to spall. |
| Tuxedo Grey | Americus Limestone (Foraker Formation) |
Lyon, Chase |
Americus Limestone is popular in Kansas for it toughness, contrasting grey color, ability to take a dark grey polish, and many interesting fossils. | |
| Fort Hays | Fort Hays Limestone (Niobrara Formation) |
Ellis, Saline |
Fort Hays Limestone makes for large building blocks with a distinctive buff color, but it tends to spall. | |
| Fencepost | Fencepost limestone (Greenhorn Formation) |
Russell, Lincoln |
Pteranodon | The unique State Rock of Kansas, the Stonepost, is Felten's finest carving stone, but its limited to small sculptures and fine bas relief. |

Graham, Trego |
||
