St. Louis Limestone : ウィキペディア英語版 | St. Louis Limestone
The St. Louis Limestone is a large geologic formation covering a wide area of the midwest of the United States. It is named after an exposure at St. Louis, Missouri. It consists of sedimentary limestone with scattered chert beds, including the heavily chertified Lost River Chert Bed in the Horse Cave Member. It is exposed at the surface through western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee, including the city of Clarksville, Tennessee. The limestone deposit is Mississippian in age, in the Meramecian series, roughly 330-340 million years old. Fossils commonly found in the St. Louis include the rugosan corals ''Lithostrotion'' and ''Lithostrotionella'' and the bryozoan ''Fenestrellina''. ==See also==
