| Paleozoic 252.17 - 541 Ma ID: 3187973 | Paleozoic sedimentary rocks Age: Paleozoic (252.17 - 541 Ma) Lithology: Sedimentary rocks Reference: Chorlton, L.B. Generalized geology of the world: bedrock domains and major faults in GIS format: a small-scale world geology map with an extended geological attribute database. doi: 10.4095/223767.

| Mississippian 323.2 - 358.9 Ma ID: 2964323 | Tuscumbia Limestone Age: Mississippian (323.2 - 358.9 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Tuscumbia Limestone Description: Light-gray limestone, partly oolitic near top; fine to very coarse-grained bioclastic crinoidal limestone common; light-gray chert nodules and concretions are scattered throughout and are abundant locally. The apparent thickness of the formation in this province varies due to differential dissolution of the carbonate in the unit. Lithology: Major:{limestone}, Minor:{chert} Reference: Horton, J.D., C.A.
