[dinosaur] Age of Cretaceous Formation



The Baylis Formation is made up of two distinct members: the lower Hadley Gravel Member and the upper, sandy Kiser Creek Member.

What is the age/age range of the Baylis Formation of southern Illinois?

What is its depositional history?

What other formation(s)/member(s) does it correlate to?

Are there any notable/index fossils found within?
