The Harrell Formation was first described by Charles Butts in 1918. Hasson and Dennison (1978) state "The Harrell Shale consists of very dark gray, thinly laminated, platy- to sheety-weathering shale underlain in certain areas by the grayish black shale of the Burket Member."

In 1918, when Butts described and named the type section, the USGS topo map spelled the location "Harrell", but the local spelling was "Horrell". 1728: 870: 406: 1738: 1723: 357: 1748: 371: 1753: 260: 1743: 329: 1733: 254: 630: 1605: 585: 1167: 1071: 1558: 1489: 1392: 1162: 602: 121: 1625: 1502: 1346: 865: 671: 79: 41: 8: 1689: 1463: 1369: 1264: 1241: 1108: 717: 707: 702: 685: 666: 638: 194:
