Do you know where I can find information about the Paris Landing Formation? I saw it on one of your figures. I have seen a very fine sand exposed along Kentucky Lake at Paris Landing State Park and was wondering what formation that was.
One of the best ways might be to use the National Geologic Map Database (ngmdb.usgs.gov/) to view the geologic maps for that particular area. You should be able to view the available online geologic maps right from your browser. Another option is the application 'Rockd' on your cell phone. Rockd will tell you what rock formation you are in by geolocating you in reference to their geologic mapping. The mapping is fairly generallized, but I have found it to be reasonably accurate. The only trick is that you have to be physically present at a location for it to tell you what the formations are. I hope that helps!
Rather than Missippian Limestone, doesn't some areas of Middle TN have Pennsylvanian Sandstone outcropping in the higher elevations, or at least, near the Surface? TIA.
