Description

Easton (1944) did not define the Siloam Anticline explicitly. The name Siloam Anticline apparently refers to a southeastward bulge in the contour lines on his structure map of the Levias Limestone Member of the Renault Limestone (Mississippian). Similar structural patterns can be seen on current maps of the Beech Creek ("Barlow") Limestone (ISGS open files) and on Bristol and Howard's (1976) structure map of the Ste. Genevieve Limestone. Such a modest nosing of contour lines, however, does not merit a name.
