“…The unit is generally described as massive to thinly bedded, light gray to tan, thrombolitic, oolitic, and peloidal limestone; algal laminated and stromatolitic dolostorie increases in abundance upward within the formation (Goldstrand, 1995). The Maynardville Limestone is thought to have been deposited in shallow-marine subtidal to intertidal environments and, to a smaller extent, in supratidal environments (Weber, 1988;Goldstrand, 1995 Dorsch, 1995 (King and Haase, 1987;Hatcher et al, 1992b). The depositional environments are interpreted as shallow subtidal to supratidal (Lee and Ketelle, 1987;Weber, 1988 (Shevenell et al, 1993;Goldstrand, 1995).…”
