Fusulinids from the eastern side of the Llano Uplift indicate that the Sloan limestone member of the Marble Falls limestone is Morrowan in age. Fusulinid faunas demonstrate that the middle and upper parts of the Marble Falls limestone on the eastern side of the Llano Uplift are post-Morrowan in age but are older stratigraphically than the Big Saline limestone on the western side of the uplift. Seven species of fusulinids from the middle and upper parts of the Marble Falls limestone are described and illustrated as Nankinella plummeri, n. sp.; Staffella expansa, n. sp.; S. sp.; Eoschubertella texana, n. sp.; E. spp.; Pseudostaffella aff. P. needhami Thompson; and Profusulinella marblensis, n. sp.
