Extent and thickness[edit | edit source]

The Walgreen Member is generally 5-10 feet thick in the outcrop areas in northern Illinois and eastern Missouri.

Lithology[edit | edit source]

Most of the Walgreen Member is gray, thin- to medium-bedded, argillaceous, shaly limestone that contains disseminated fossil debris and thin beds of purplish gray calcarenite. In the southern outcrop area it is brown, thicker bedded, and less argillaceous than in northern Illinois.
