The Decorah consists of three members from bottom to top Spects Ferry, Guttenberg, and Ion. http www.iowageology.org gb70 stop 09.htm The Spects Ferry member is organic rich and suggests a large influx of terrigenous sediment during deposition. The Guttenberg is characterized by nodular calcareous beds and contains several K bentonite deposits. The Ion Member, present in the southern Decorah in Iowa, is characterized by alternating beds of shale and limestone.
