A quarry in Silurian dolostone was described in 1877 northwest of Sheboygan in Sec 7 T15N R23E as containing geodes with quartz and calcite. A search by Google Earth (2015) indicates that few traces of this likely remain at present, however it does suggest other nearby outcrops or excavations may contain similar material.
