Description

J. Weller (1940) used outcrop data on lower Pennsylvanian sandstones to map a gentle, northeast-plunging anticlinal nose near Goreville. He stated that the feature may not be entirely structural, but based in part on "unequal original deposition." Current geologic mapping (Jacobson 1991, 1992, Weibel and Nelson 1993) indicates no anticline in the area denoted by J. Weller; therefore, use of the name should be discontinued.
