==Name Origin==<br />
The Paint Creek Group (S. Weller, 1913, p. 120; Swann, 1963, p. 76) is named for Paint Creek, a stream in Randolph County.<br />
==Type Section==<br />
The type section of the Paint Creek Group is along a tributary west of McCuen School (E1/2 2, 5S-9W).<br />
==Extent and Thickness==<br />
The Paint Creek Group is recognized only in western Illinois.<br />
==Description==<br />
The Paint Creek Group is dominantly shale and limestone and consists of the Downeys Bluff, Bethel, and Ridenhower Formations (fig. M-25). Although the Bethel is normally a sandstone, it is shale in that area and includes a bed of bright red shale. The name was formerly used in southeastern Illinois for the strata now included in the Ridenhower Formation.<br />
