History/background

Type section

Type location

Two miles north of Troutman Grove Cemetery, the lower part of the type section of the Troutman Member is in the same exposure as the Drummond Member, whereas the upper part is in a small quarry one-fourth of a mile east (SW NW SE 30, 35N-10E). The two sections are correlated by a thin bed of white clay that occurs near or slightly above the middle of the member in both sections and also in nearly all exposures of the member in northeastern Illinois.
