| Eohalysiocrinus stigmatus-Sievertsia Assoc., Vail Stone Quarry | Frest T. J., Brett C. E., et al (1999) | Laurel | "Formational assignment of the strat with this community is somewhat problematic. At most outcrops, the Laurel-Waldron contact is abrupt and has low relief, even though in many places it is a hardground. At Sandusky and elsewhere it is more gradiational. The unit was termed the 'transitional beds' by Frest (1977) and assigned, somewhat arbitrarily, to the Laurel because of the mixed fauna and predominantly carbonate lithology." | grainstone | 433.4 - 427.4 Ma Silurian |
