The primary source cited is free online and has a few more details (pgs. 204, 205):

This paper does not directly address the Bayler Formation (it's mentioned), but it covers related formations in other states.

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?
