Stratigraphic relationships

The Lacey Member overlies the Mayfield Member of the Mt. Simon Sandstone.

Extent and thickness

The Lacey Member is 176-230 feet thick.

Lithology

The Lacey Member is principally conglomeratic sandstone, although beds of fine-grained sandstone occur in the middle part and locally in the lower part. Beds of red shale are more common in the Lacey and higher members than in the lower members. Only the Lacey and higher members of the Mt. Simon are differentiated in northeastern Illinois (Buschbach, 1964).
