Boy Scout Camp, IU 15109-13000, Edwardsville Fm., Monroe Co., IN (Carboniferous of the United States)

Also known as Interdistributary Mudstone Facies; equitable diversity community

Where: Monroe County, Indiana (39.0° N, 86.3° W: paleocoordinates 18.9° S, 32.8° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Edwardsville Formation, Chadian (346.7 - 340.0 Ma)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: interdistributary bay; lithified, peloidal, gray shale and grainstone

• This represents a subaqueous delta platform environment. The interdistributary mudstone facies is interpreted to have been deposited on the lee side of a carbonate bank on the delta platform.

Collection methods: bulk, chemical, mechanical, sieve,
