The Mount Simon Sandstone is an Upper Cambrian sandstone and is found in many states in the Midwest such as Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri.
The Mount Simon formation is the equivalent of the La Motte Sandstone formation in the St. Francois Mountains of Missouri.[1] It was deposited in a nearshore environment, unconformably overlying Precambrian basement, and underlying the Eau Claire Formation in Wisconsin.[2]
The Mount Simon sandstone is named after an escarpment of sandstone in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, called Mount Simon by E.O. Ulrich.[1]
