Name Origin

The Chazyan Stage (Emmons, 1842, p. 107; Grabau, 1989, p. 223) is named for Chazy, New York.

Correlation

The Everton is correlated with the type Chazyan on the basis of the fauna in the Everton type area in Arkansas and by subsurface tracing (Templeton and Willman, 1963).

Extent and Thickness

In Illinois the Chazyan Stage includes only the Everton Dolomite, which is not exposed but is encountered in drilling in the southwestern part of the state.
