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.
