Summary:
Pg. 75-76 (article by C.E. Wier). Inglefield Sandstone Member of Patoka Formation. Restricted Fuller and Ashley's (USGS Geol. Atlas of the US, Ditney folio, no. 84, 1902) Inglefield to the sandstone above Ditney Coal Member and below Hazelton Bridge Coal Member (Wier, in prep.); in lower part of Inglefield Sandstone of Fuller and Clapp, 1904 (USGS Geol. Atlas of the US, Patoka folio, no. 105). Gray to tan, cross-bedded, thin- to thick-bedded, fine-grained sandstone that grades laterally into a sandy shale. Thickest in subsurface of Vanderburgh and Posey Counties, southwestern Indiana, where it ranges from 20 to 80 feet. Thins north of Knox County; maximum thickness 20 feet. Miscorrelated with Merom Sandstone Member of Mattoon Formation by some early workers. Age is Pennsylvanian.
