Description

Shaw (1915a) proposed the Venedy Dome and Kay (1915) copied his discussion verbatim. The dome was suggested by scanty well records on the Herrin Coal Member (Pennsylvanian). The Cady et al. (1940) map of the Herrin Coal, which was based on additional control points, does not show such a structure; therefore, use of the name Venedy Dome should be discontinued.
