The Dane Member of the Pecatonica Formation (Templeton and Willman, 1963, p. 76).
Named for Dane County, Wisconsin.
The type section of the Dane Member is a quarry and roadcut in Dane County, 4 miles north of New Glarus, Green County (SW NW NE 34, 5N-7E), where the member is 8.2 feet thick.
The Dane Member commonly is 5-10 feet thick in the outcrop area, but it is as much as 60 feet in extreme southern Illinois.
The Dane Member consists of slightly argillaceous, partly cherty, brown dolomite or limestone in thin to medium beds separated by thin shale partings.
The Dane is the most fossiliferous of the Pecatonica members, and it is characterized regionally by the abundance of ''Opikina minnesotensis''.
