==Stratigraphic relationships==<br />
The top of the Livingston Limestone Member forms the top of the Bond Formation in eastern Illinois.<br />
<br />
==Extent and thickness==<br />
The Livingston occurs in two or three benches separated by shale beds 1-6 feet thick and has a maximum thickness of about 25 feet. The Livingston is well developed in Vermilion, Edgar, Clark, and eastern Coles Counties, where it has been extensively quarried. It thins southward into Crawford County.<br />
<br />
==Lithology==<br />
It is generally fine grained and medium to thick bedded, and each bench thins to the south as the shale partings become thicker. <br />
