Stratigraphic relationships

The Tripp Limestone Member of the Lingle Formation overlies the Howardton Limestone Member.

Extent and thickness

The upper 17 feet of the member is exposed at the type section and 22-foot thicknesses are found in near-by wells. The Tripp is widespread and reaches 80 feet thick in south-central Illinois, although it is absent in southeastern Illinois (fig. D-15). <center> {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;" |- |<gallery caption="" widths=250px heights=250px perrow=4> Figure_D-15.jpg|{{file:Figure_D-15.jpg}} </gallery> |} </center>

Lithology

The Tripp Member contains limestone, dolomite, chert, siltstone, and shale. It is largely cherty, argillaceous, silty limestone, but beds of shale are abundant near its base and top. About half of the member is dolomite on the margin of the Sparta Shelf. Glauconite, quartz sand, oolite, and beds of phosphate pellets are locally abundant in the northern and western parts of the member.
