Lots of formations are named where they outcrop on the surface.
Or where they are first found while drilling like the Haynesville, Cotton Valley or Smackover.

That's correct also. I was trying to keep it simple. Plus some formations are different in different states like hosston in louisiana and Travis peak in texas. Haynesville is a little different in that the formation near Haynesville is sand. The shale play itself is probably lower Bossier but mclendon wanted a new name to distinguish it as a Chesapeake discovery.
