The Palzo Sandstone Member of the Spoon Formation (Cady, 1942, p. 9; Weller et al., 1942a, p. 10, footnote).
This name was used first in passing by Cady (1942, p. 9) and in a footnote by Weller et al. (1942).

The type locality consists of exposures near the village of Palzo (SE 16, 10S-4E) (Wanless, 1956, p. 10).
Wanless (1956) listed, but did not describe, the type section as located near the village of Palzo (SE¼ sec. 16, T 10 S, R 4 E).

Willman et al. (1975) positioned the Palzo Sandstone beneath the Colchester Coal and overlying the Davis, Dekoven, and Seelyville Coals. These authors stated that the Palzo is the same as the Isabel and Sebree Sandstones. However, the Isabel lies below the Abingdon Coal and thus is older than the Palzo. In this report, the Palzo Sandstone is recognized as being identical to the [[Coxville Sandstone Member|Coxville Sandstone]]. Because the name Coxville has priority, the name Palzo Sandstone is hereby abandoned.  
==Extent and thickness==
The Palzo Sandstone is well developed throughout the state in both channel and nonchannel facies and is locally more than 50 feet thick.
 
==Lithology==
It is similar in appearance to other sandstones in the Spoon Formation in southern Illinois.

Stratigraphic relationships

Willman et al. (1975) positioned the Palzo Sandstone beneath the Colchester Coal and overlying the Davis, Dekoven, and Seelyville Coals. These authors stated that the Palzo is the same as the Isabel and Sebree Sandstones. However, the Isabel lies below the Abingdon Coal and thus is older than the Palzo. In this report, the Palzo Sandstone is recognized as being identical to the Coxville Sandstone. Because the name Coxville has priority, the name Palzo Sandstone is hereby abandoned.
