Lithograph City Formation : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lithograph City Formation
The Lithograph City Formation is a geologic formation in Iowa, part of the Cedar Valley Group. It preserves fossils dating back to the Devonian period. The formation is composed of dolomite and limestone, with many fossils and vugs in the lower part, while the upper part contains few fossils.〔Bill J. Bunker, Brian J. Witzke and Jed Day, Upper Cedar Valley Stratigraphy North Central Iowa Lithograph City Formation, (Guidebook 44 ), Geological Society of Iowa, Apr. 27, 1986.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】author= Various Contributors to the Paleobiology Database )〕 The formation is named after exposures in the former company town of Lithograph City, where quarries were opened to exploit the high-quality lithographic limestone found in parts of this formation.〔A.
