The Jurassic in this region is complicated. The rock units have been correlated and recorrelated many times by many researchers. An important contribution that was largely (but not completely) accepted by later workers was done by Pipiringos and O'Sullivan (1978).Their work (which also extends well beyond the area in these webpages), is based on 5 regional Jurassic unconformities:
Pipiringos, G.N., and O’Sullivan, R.B., 1978, Principal unconformities in Triassic and Jurassic rocks, Western Interior United States – a preliminary survey: U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1035-A, p. A1-A29.
