Abstract

Most dimension limestone in Indiana is produced from the Salem Limestone (fig. 1). A significant amount is produced from the Laurel Member of the Salamonie Dolomite, the Louisville Limestone, and the Geneva Dolomite. Other strata, such as Ste. Genevieve and Ordovician limestones, have been used as dimension stone2 in the past, and some limestone from such formations as the Brassfield, Waldron, and Harrodsburg is used for building purposes at present. But only dimension stone produced from the Salem, Laurel, Louisville, and Geneva is discussed in this report.
