Stratigraphic relationships[edit]

The Garnavillo Member is the lower member of the Guttenberg Formation.

Extent and thickness[edit]

The Garnavillo is present throughout most of the area where Guttenberg strata occur, but it does not extend as far east as the overlying Glenhaven Member. It is 2-3 feet thick in southwestern Illinois.

Lithology[edit]

The Garnavillo Member consists of gray to gray-tan, white-weathering, argillaceous limestone in medium beds with thin gray-brown shale partings. Phosphatic nodules are widely present in the lower foot in the northwestern outcrop area, where the Kings Lake Formation is missing.
