Summary:
The Warix Run Member of the Slade Formation, used informally by Dever (1977) and here named, consists of light-olive-gray quartzose calcarenite and lesser calcilutite. Strata of the Warix Run were previously assigned to the Newman Limestone, which is here excluded from the Cumberland Escarpment area of east-central and northeastern KY. Disconformably overlies the Borden Formation or Renfro, St. Louis, or Ste. Genevieve Members of the Slade Formation; intertongues with or conformably underlies the Mill Knob Member of the Slade. Thickness ranges from 0 to 31 m. Age is Late Mississippian.
