Synopsis
This book explores correlations between the lower Chester strata of the Eastern Interior Basin, revealing inconsistencies in the stratigraphic terminology as currently applied to these rocks. By examining the detailed stratigraphy of the region, the author demonstrates that: the Aux Vases sand of the central basin area is the equivalent of the Rosiclare sandstone member of the Ste. Genevieve formation; the Benoist (Yankeetown), Bethel, and Sample sandstones are successively younger rather than correlative units; the Cypress sandstone of Indiana and west-central Kentucky is younger than the Cypress of Illinois; certain continuous limestone units, like the Beech Creek or Barlow limestone, lie above the Illinois Cypress but beneath the Indiana Cypress; and the Levias limestone and part of the Shetlerville (Renault) together form a continuous limestone sequence which overlies both the Aux Vases of the basin and the Rosiclare sandstone of the outcrop area in southeastern Illinois.
