In the wake of improved conodont biostratigraphic information from Louisiana and McCraney in tri-state area (Chauffe & Nichols 1995, Chauffe Guzman 1997), following preparation multiple field trip guidebooks to region (Heckel 2001, Witzke et al. 2002), correlation these beds southeast Iowa with Formation came into question.Witzke Bunker (2002) summarized issues southeastern began using term "McCraney"
ABSTRACT A pre‐Late Wisconsinan, post‐Illinoian, till sheet has long been recognized in north‐central Iowa, but not formally or defined until now. Early researchers referred to these deposits as the ‘Tazewell’, and term ‘Sheldon Creek’ was more recently used informally by Iowa Geological Survey guidebooks reports. Recent mapping extended eastern margin significantly past previous interpretations. The Sheldon Creek Formation similar lithologic characteristics overlying Alden Member of Dows...
