Sedimentation and stratigraphy of the Devonian rocks of southeastern Indiana

Abstract

Devonian rocks in southern Indiana have presented many problems of correlation; their stratigraphy has been studied during recent years by T. A. Dawson and John B. Patton. General conditions of sedimentation of the Devonian rocks are reviewed in this guidebook by Haydn H. Murray. Other aspects of the Devonian rocks and the general area of the conference also are discussed; these reports include geochemistry, economic geology, and the physiography and Pleistocene history. Staff members of the Indiana Geological Survey and the Department of Geology, Indiana University, will talk briefly at each of the scheduled stops; they will review such aspects of the chemical composition, petrology, mineralogy, and stratigraphic nomenclature as are most applicable to the locality and exposure.
