1. Monteagle Limestone in colurnn 18 is the Monteagle Limestone of Hanford, 1978.
2. Tuscumbia Formation in column 18 is the Tuscurnbia Formation of McLemore, 1971.
8. Mixed or interbedded lithology (limestone, sandstone, shale, or chert) that behaves hydraulically like limestone,

4, Predominantly dolomite and limestone to north and east (Cumberland County); predominantly limestone to south and west (Franklin County). : EXPLANATION
5. Predominantly dolorite and limestone to north and east (Northampton and Lehigh Counties); predominantly limestone to south and west (Berks County).

‘Abbreviations: COSUNA, Correlation of stratigraphic units of North America; Dol., Dolomite; Frn., Formation; Gp., Group; Ls., Limestone; Mbr., Member; Qtz., Quartzite; Sh., Shale; Ss., Sandstone

EXPLANATION

(See figure 3 for the location of the areas
described in the stratigraphic columns)

Explanation of rock types — Geologic units are classified into one of four rock types Explanation of geologic contacts—Contacts may be either conformable or
based on lithology unconformable and of established or uncertain age

3 Contact between two units of equivalent age and stratigraphic position

Dolomite — Includes units that are predominantly dolomite, a combination of

; z bs 5 —— Contact between successive synchronous units
dolomite and sandstone or chert, and dolomite and limestone with as much Copia Beemer v1 Qu

as 70 percent limestone ~~ Contact between successive time-transgressive units
Limestone — Includes units that are predominantly limestone and limestone Explanation of geologic map symbol—Symbols were taken from the State geologic =
with less than 30 percent dolomite map referenced above the stratigraphic columns and refer to the geologic unit(s)
. named in the column to the left of the symbol;
Argillaceous carbonate rock — Includes units that are predominantly clay-rich for example, GA.
dolomite or limestone, as well as shale units that contain abundant calcite or \ <
‘Lawton,

Marsalis,
and others
(1976)

magnesium calcite. Also includes units with a mixture of rock types
Siliciclastic rock — Includes units that are predominantly shale with little or no
carbonate content, claystone, siltstone, sandstone, and conglomerate that

consist of clay minerals, quartz grains, or siliceous rock fragments. Includes
one unit that contains a substantial amount of slate

Undesignated — Includes units that are too varied in lithology to designate a
