Simon, Chief COVER PHOTO: Faulted and shattered Silurian dolomite in the Meyer Material Company quarry (Vick's Pit) located within the Sandwich Fault Zone about six miles southwest of Joliet, Will County, Illinois. A major fault with approximately 100 feet of displacement is marked by the white line. Rocks of the Wilhelmi Formation on the left are upthrown in juxtaposition with the Joliet Formation on the right. Numerous, small high-angle faults and joints can be seen in the highwall. The faulted Silurian dolomite is truncated to a flat surface and is covered by approximately 20 feet of the Wisconsinan Yorkville Till Member. Kolata, Dennis R.
