Abstract:
The Greenbrier Limestone was deposited in a subsiding basin in southeastern West Virginia and adjacent Virginia and across a broad, shallow shelf located to the north and northwest. Oolitic limestones are thick and extensive in southern West Virginia, but most thin and change in character to the north. An area of uplift, the West Virginia dome was active along the zone of change in north-central West Virginia. The dome was exposed during early Greenbrier deposition and remained as a submarine high throughout deposition of these predominantly oolitic, Mississippian-aged limestones.
The transition from oolitic grainstones that contain well-developed ooids through grainstones that comprise less well-developed ooids mixed with detrital quartz sand to poorly washed, quartz-sandy, oolitic packstones is interpreted to indicate flooding of the shoals around the West Virginia
dome.
