Stratigraphic relationships

Extent and thickness

The Hely Member is 3-5 feet thick in the northern Illinois outcrop area and 5-8 feet in the northern part of the southern outcrop area, but south of Ste. Genevieve it thickens rapidly, and in the type section it is 73 feet thick.

Lithology

The Hely Member consists of argillaceous, lithographic limestone in thin to medium beds with thin shale partings. Much of the member is calcarenitic or contains thin calcarenite layers. It is locally cherty and generally not fucoidal.
