Stratigraphic relationships[edit | edit source]

The name is used only in western Illinois for formations from the Beech Creek through the Glen Dean (fig. M-25) in an area where the clastic units of the Hardinsburg are poorly developed and it is difficult to assign many small limestone outcrops to the proper formation. <center> {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;" |- |<gallery caption="" widths=250px heights=250px perrow=4> Figure_M-25.jpg|{{file:Figure_M-25.jpg}} </gallery> |} </center>
