The Otis Member of the Wapsipinicon Limestone (Norton, 1894, p. 22-24).
Named for the railway junction called Otis, east of Cedar Rapids, Linn County, Iowa.
The Otis Member is 26 feet thick where exposed in its type section in a quarry at Cleveland, Henry County (S1/2 31, 18N-2E).
The Otis Member of the Wapsipinicon Limestone overlies the Coggan Member (or Silurian dolomite where the Coggan is absent).
The Otis Member is fine-grained to lithographic, light gray to brown limestone with a few lenses of chert. In the region where it thins out on the flanks of the Sangamon Arch, lenses of quartz sandstone as much as 5 feet thick occur at the base.
