Summary:
Named Haney limestone. Upper unit of "Golconda limestone". For use in Illinois basin in southeast Illinois, western Kentucky, and southern Indiana. At type section in southeast Illinois, consists of 12.5 ft of limestone with oolite at base, 11 ft of shale and limestone, 7 ft of coarsely crystalline fossiliferous slightly cross-bedded limestone, and 5 ft covered. Covered interval elsewhere is composed of soft, gray, partly fossiliferous shale with occasional streaks of green shale, red shale and brown dolomite. Typically 40 to 50 ft thick, extremes are 20 to 70 ft. Overlies Fraileys shale (Big Clifty sandstone); underlies Hardinsburg sandstone.

Summary:
Designated Haney Limestone Member of Golconda Formation. "Limestone and shale: Limestone, light-gray to light-olive-gray, medium to coarse-grained, fossil-fragmental, thick- to thin-bedded, in part oolitic. Contains irregular nodules of silicified limestone which weather to grayish-yellow and white chert blocks." Fossils abundant. "Grayish-green shale in units as much as 3 feet occurs in upper and middle parts of member." Thickness is 25 to 45 ft. Lower contact with Big Clifty Member apparently abrupt though seldom exposed. Overlain by Hardinsburg Sandstone.

Summary:
Pg. 7; also Weibel and others, 1991, Illinois Geol. Survey Geol. Quad. Ser. IGQ-8. Haney Limestone Member, upper member of Golconda Formation of Pope Group (all revised). Golconda, reduced to formation rank in this report, includes (ascending) Beech Creek Limestone Member, Fraileys Shale Member, and Haney Limestone Member (all reduced in rank). Only the upper part of Haney is mapped; confined to extreme southeastern corner of Waltersburg quadrangle, Pope County, southeastern Illinois (Weibel and others, 1991; called Haney Limestone). Mapped area extrapolated from Baxter and others' (1967, Illinois Geol. Survey Circ., no. 413) nearby Herod and Shelterville quadrangles. Lies below Hardinsburg Sandstone; contact not exposed in quadrangle. Age is Late Mississippian (Chesterian); is oldest unit mapped in quadrangle.
