The Glen Dean Limestone is a thick-bedded skeletal to oolitic to biomicritic limestone (Gray, 1970; Gray and Horowitz, 1986). In Indiana the greatest known thickness of the Glen Dean Limestone is about 55 ft (16.8 m) in the shallow subsurface in southern Perry County (Droste and Keller, 1995). Throughout most of the subsurface in Indiana the formation ranges from 20 to 30 ft (6.1 to 9.1 m) in ...

Read MoreThe bedrock of Illinois resulted from the deposition of marine organisms during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras in the period 65 to 570 million years ago. Bedrock from these two geologic time periods differs not just in age, but also in location and thickness. Paleozoic bedrock, the most widely distributed, is present throughout much of Illinois.
