| 説明 | Quartzose sandstones in the Cambrian of Minnesota, USA.Outcrops of the Jordan Sandstone occur in eastern & southeastern Minnesota; northeastern Iowa; and in western, southern, and eastern Wisconsin. The Jordan Sandstone represents an ancient shallow marine siliciclastic succession deposited on the eastern, southern, and western sides of the Wisconsin Dome (see map in Tape et al., 2003). Sedimentary structures present in Jordan Sandstone outcrops indicate that quartz sand deposition occurred in the ocean from below fair-weather wave base up to beach facies and even in subaerial back-beach dune facies.Stratigraphy: Jordan Sandstone, Sunwaptan Stage, Upper Cambrian, ~491-493 MaLocality: Stillwater Railway Depot Outcrop - roadcuts on the northern and southern sides of Elm Street, just west of Rt. 95, due west of an old railroad depot, northern side of the town of Stillwater, Minnesota, USA (45° 03' 47.60" North, 92° 48' 25.54" West)--------------------Reference cited:Tape et al.
