| Devonian 358.9 - 419.2 Ma ID: 2922436 | Muscatatuck Group Age: Devonian (358.9 - 419.2 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Muscatatuck Group Description: Limestone and dolomite Comments: On the paper state map, there are two units, both with the same map pattern, labeled "D" and "D1". The only difference appears to be the relative abundance of the two major lithologies, limestone and dolomite. On the digital map, the unit is not subdivided.
