“…The Lexington Limestone, also known as Trenton Limestone in the subsurface, has been a prominent Upper Ordovician (upper Sandbian-lower Katian; Chatfieldian-lower Edenian) unit in east-central United States since it was first described by Campbell in 1898. Although the formation was originally thought to be composed of a series of layer-cake-type members (e.g., Lattman, 1954;Nosow and McFarlan, 1960), quadrangle mapping by the U.S. Geological Survey from the 1960s-1990s showed that the Lexington is actually a complex facies mosaic (Fig. 2) composed of at least 12 irregular members (Cressman, 1973), whose deposition was in part controlled by reactivated basement structures (Ettensohn, 1992;Ettensohn and Kulp, 1995).…”

The Lexington or Trenton Limestone is an Upper Ordovician (Chatfieldian-Edenian; upper Sandbianlower Katian), temperate-water unit, averaging about 60-m thick, that was deposited in relatively shallow waters across the Lexington Platform in east-central United States during the Taconian Orogeny. Lexington/Trenton shallow-water deposition ended across most of the platform in late Chatfieldian time and from that point deepened upward into the more shale-rich Clays Ferry, Point Pleasant and Kope formations due to apparent sea-level rise. In central Kentucky, however, deposition of the Lexington Limestone continued into early Edenian time and includes up to 50 m of additional coarse calcarenites and calcirudites at the top, which form the Tanglewood buildup and reflect locally regressive conditions, apparently related to local structural uplift. Consequently, in central Kentucky, the Lexington is more than

“…Moreover, Lexington members above the Grier/Perryville, including the upper tongue ( Fig. 2), were formerly included in the overlying Cynthiana Formation (e.g., Lattman, 1954;Nosow and McFarlan, 1960), but during the U.S.G.S. mapping project were placed in the Lexington Limestone, while the term Cynthiana Formation was abandoned.…”

“…As the Dubuque fauna has not been carefully studied throughout all of its facies, the evidence is inconclusive (see Twenhofel, and others, 1954, p. 270 and chart;Lattman, 1954).…”
