Primary source

Nelson, W.J., 2020, Pennsylvanian Subsystem in Illinois: Illinois State Geological Survey Bulletin (in press).
Edited and figures drafted by Jennifer M. Obrad.

Contributing author(s)

Name

Original description

Greb et al. (1992) attributed the Sebree Sandstone to Glenn (1912), but no reference to this unit appears therein. The earliest known reference to the Sebree Sandstone appears in Glenn (1922, p. 97–98).

Derivation

Sebree is a community of about 1,500 people in northeastern Webster County, Kentucky.

Other names

None.

Type section

Type location

No specific locality was designated. Glenn (1922, p. 97–98) described the Sebree as coarse, cross-bedded sandstone that forms ridges and cliffs near Sebree and Steamport Landing in eastern Webster County, Kentucky.

Type author(s)

Glenn (1922, p. 97–98).

Type status

Unknown.

Reference section

None.

Stratigraphic relationships

Plate 31 in Glenn (1922) shows the unit to be 15 to 65 ft (4.5 to 20 m) thick and to lie between the Nos. 7 and 8 coal beds (Dekoven and Survant). Wanless (1939) refined the position of the Sebree Sandstone to be between the Colchester and Dekoven coal beds, which is the same position as that of the earlier named Coxville Sandstone. The name Sebree Sandstone is hereby abandoned in favor of Coxville Sandstone on the basis of priority.
