==Stratigraphic relationships==<br />
The Franconian Stage includes the strata from the ''Elvinia'' Zone (at the base) to the top of the ''Dikelocephalus postrectus'' Zone. Some stratigraphers prefer to place the top of the stage lower in the Franconia, at the top of the ''Ptychaspis-Prosaukia'' Zone of Bell et al. (1956)-- the ''Prosaukia'' Zone of Lochman-Balk and Wilson (1958). These faunal zones have not been differentiated in Illinois, but the Ironton and Franconia Formations are at least approximately equivalent to the type Franconia Formation and are included in the Franconian Stage.<br />
