Full Title: Stratigraphy and Paleoecology of the Saluda Formation (Cincinnatian ) in Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky
Author: Craig Bond Hatfield
From the original catalog copy: The Saluda Formation is a lens-shaped lithostratigraphic unit consisting essentially of calcitic dolomite interbedded with a small proportion of fossiliferous limestone and shale. Evidence suggests that the formation was deposited in a quiet-water lagoon that was isolated from the surrounding open sea by encompassing banks of corals and stromatoporoids. Salinity was greater in the center of the ancient lagoon and during the middle period of Saluda deposition than earlier or later.
