The Arsenal Member of the Oneota Dolomite (Buschbach, 1964, p. 45).
Named for the Joliet Arsenal, Will County.
The type section for the Arsenal Member is located near Joliet Arsenal, where the type section is represented in a boring (NE NE SW 25, 34N-9E) by samples (sample set 6199) from 980-1085 feet deep.
The Arsenal Member of the Oneota Dolomite is the lower, very cherty member.
The Arsenal Member is recognized in the northeastern quarter of the state, where it varies from 90 to almost 200 feet thick.
It is a cherty to very cherty dolomite that is light gray with some brown or pink tinting. The dolomite is medium grained but has some coarsely crystalline zones. The chert is white or light gray, partly banded, and only rarely oolitic. Sand grains are rare, but thin shale partings are common near the base.
