The Devonian Jeffersonville Limestone is a mapped bedrock unit in Indiana and Kentucky.
The Jeffersonville is a coarse grained, dark gray, thick bedded, fossiliferous limestone.
[2] R. D. Perkins (1963) divided the Jeffersonville into five zones based on petrology and fossil content,[4] and these are summarized below (in stratigraphic order): The Jeffersonville Limestone is well known for its fossils, including the well-exposed corals, many in life positions, at Falls of the Ohio.
Edward Kindle described many species from the Falls of the Ohio in 1899:[3] Campbell and Wickwire (1955) listed the following species in the Jeffersonville from outcrops in the vicinity of Hanover, Indiana:[6] Other trilobites include the following: Arctinurus sp., Anchiopsis anchiops, Anchiopsis tuberculatus, "Calymene" platys, Coronura aspectans, C. myrmecophorus, C. helena, Crassiproteus clareus, C. crassimarginatus, C. macrocephalus, Greenops kindlei, Odontocephalus bifidus, O. magnus, Odontochile pleuroptyx, Phacops nasutus, Phacops pipa, Trypaulites calypso[7][8][9] Ostracods were documented by Kesling and Peterson in 1958.
[10] Genera identified include: Abditoloculina, Adelphobolbina, Ctenoloculina, Flaccivelum, Hollina, Hollinella, and Subligaculum.
