Summary

edit
Description

This is the Borden Formation, a significant unit in the Lower Mississippian of Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. It represents an ancient deltaic succession. Prodeltaic, delta front, and delta top deposits are present in the Borden. Named members in eastern Kentucky and southern Ohio include (from bottom to top) the Henley Member (or Henley Bed), Farmers Member, Nancy Member, Cowbell Member, and Nada Member.

The upper part of the photo shows the siltstone-dominated Cowbell Member. The dark-colored rocks at the bottom are the part of the shale-rich Nancy Member.
