Abstract
At the state quarries, or North Bend quarries, in sections 5 and 8 of Penn township, Johnson County, Iowa, there is a body of limestone of Devonian age, possessing marked characteristics which set it off sharply from the rest of the Devonian in the upper Mississippi Valley. The formation has a thickness of about forty feet. At present there is some uncertainty as to its exact taxonomic relations.
