Well log characteristics[edit | edit source]

Fossils[edit | edit source]

Trentonian strata are generally fossiliferous and the fauna contains many forms not found in the Blackriveran below or the Cincinnatian above.

Age and correlation[edit | edit source]

These rocks are correlated with the type Trentonian of New York on the bases of both faunal and lithologic similarity (Templeton and Willman, 1963).
