Simon, 1975, Handbook of Illinois Stratigraphy: Illinois State Geological Survey Bulletin 95, 261 p. ==Contributing author(s)== Elwood Atherton, Charles Collinson, and Jerry A. Lineback ==Name== ===Original description=== The Shetlerville Limestone Member of the Renault Formation (S. Weller, ''in'' S. Weller et al., 1920, p. 123; Swann, 1963, p. 82). ===Derivation=== Named for Shetlerville, Hardin County. ===Other names=== ===History/background=== ==Type section== ===Type location=== Weller designated the Shelterville Member a formation, citing exposures of about 30 feet of limestone just east of Shetlerville as the type section. Swann (1963) put the upper shaly part in the Yankeetown, restricted the Shetlerville to 15 feet of limestone exposed in a quarry one-fourth of a mile south of Shetlerville (SE NE SW 35, 12S-7E), and classified it as a member of the Renault. ===Type author(s)=== ===Type status=== ==Reference section== ===Reference location=== ===Reference author(s)=== ===Reference status=== ==Stratigraphic relationships== ==Extent and thickness== ==Lithology== Most of the limestone is dark greenish or brownish gray, sandy, and oolitic. The basal portion grades to sandstone and is named the Popcorn Sandstone Bed. Some beds are light colored and resemble the underlying Levias Member. The basal contact is sharp and may be unconformable. ==Core(s)== ==Photograph(s)== ==Contacts== ==Well log characteristics== ==Fossils== The Shetlerville contains the crinoid ''Talarocrinus'' (fig. M-4) and is the basal part of the Chesterian Series. <center> <gallery caption="" widths=250px heights=250px perrow=4> Figure_M-4.jpg|alt=Fossil illustration showing crinoid Talarocrinus characteristic of the Shetlerville Limestone Member (Figure M-4)|{{file:Figure_M-4.jpg}} </gallery> </center> ==Age and correlation== ==Environments of deposition== ==Economic importance== ==Remarks== ==References== SWANN, D.
