Silurian and Devonian Formations in Southeastern Indiana

Indiana Geological Survey Guidebook 1This conference was planned to provide an opportunity to observe and discuss outcrops of Silurian and Devonian rocks in southeastern Indiana. The broad aspects of the stratigraphy and fauna were emphasized since most persons attending were not familiar with these formations. It was hoped the discussions would help solve many problems concerning these rocks. Any assistance that can be provided in the subsurface identification and correlation of the counterparts of these formations in the surrounding basin areas will help make the conference a success. Campbell's (1942) recent reclassification of the Devonian will be especially interesting to those familiar with the older classification and terminology. The opportunity to become acquainted and discuss mutual problems was an important part of the program.Department of Geology, Indiana University; Indiana Division of Geology; Indiana Department of Conservatio
