===Original description===<br />
The Moredock Member of the Dunleith Formation (Templeton and Willman, 1963, p. 124).<br />
<br />
===Derivation===<br />
Named for Moredock Lake, at Valmeyer, Monroe County, near the type section.<br />
<br />
===Other names===<br />
<br />
===History&#47;background===<br />
<br />
==Type section==<br />
<br />
===Type location===<br />
The type section of the Moredock Member is in the Mississippi River bluff (cen. N line SW 3, 3S-11W), where the member is 58.4 feet thick.<br />

==Stratigraphic relationships==<br />
The Moredock Member of the Dunleith Formation occurs in the southern limestone facies, overlying the Eagle Point Member.<br />
<br />
==Extent and thickness==<br />
The Moredock is commonly 60-70 feet thick where overlain by the New London Member, but in many exposures in the southern outcrop area the Moredock is overlain unconformably by Maquoketa Group strata, as it is at the type section, or by the Cape Limestone, and the upper few feet of the member are missing.<br />
<br />
==Lithology==<br />
The Moredock is exceptionally pure, coarse-grained calcarenite that is massive, cross-bedded, crinoidal, nearly white, and banded with pink, buff, and gray beds. Although the member is generally noncherty, large chert nodules or lenses of chert occur locally. It is distinguishable from the Eagle Point Member, which is finer grained, has bands of chert nodules, and is less pure. <br />
