-:'''Unnamed Limestone Member of the Bailey Limestone'''
-:Over most of the central and western parts of the Illinois basin a grey to white, pure non-cherty limestone 10 to 40 feet thick occurs at the top of the [[Bailey Limestone|Bailey]]. Because the unit is distinctive and identifiable over a large area, we have indicated it on our cross sections and stratigraphic columns (Figs. 3 and 7). Swann believes it may be a northward extension of the Flat Gap Limestone of Tennessee. In Washington County, Illinois, where it is especially well developed, it has been referred to by the oil field term "Beaucoup."
-:The unit is well exposed in Quarry Hill near Ozora, Ste. Genevieve County, Missouri, where it consists of 5 to 10 feet of heavily bedded grey-white encrinital limestone (Croneis, 1944).
