Pg. 101, 190, 195, 196, 204. Hanover limestone of Carbondale group. Most persistent near Pleasantview, Beardstown quadrangle, Illinois, where limestone is conglomerate with dark-blue-gray limestone masses in matrix of light-gray limestone. Commonly massive, but in thickest exposures shows rude bedding. Thickness 1 to 4 feet near Pleasantview but 6 inches or less elsewhere. In most exposures, unconformably underlies St. David underclay and underclay limestone. Included in Summum cyclothem. Age is Pennsylvanian. Name credited to J.R. Pelt (1928, Illinois Geol. Survey field notes).
