The Hockingport Sandstone is a north-south oriented deposit up to 90 feet thick, blanketing an area of 225 square miles. The longer axis of the Waynesburg Sandstone is oriented N 20° E, the maximum thickness is 75 feet, and the preserved deposit blankets an area of 880 square miles. The grand mean of dip directions of cross-stratification readings of the Hockingport Sandstone is N 19° W and of the Waynesburg Sandstone, N 10° E.
