Gamma Rays correlate surface with subsurface. High-frequency fluctuations cross from subtidal to peritidal facies.

Cincinnatian peritidal facies show considerable variation in microfacies

Peritidal microfacies demarcate a depth gradient 1- High-diversity limestone and silty shale – shallow marine 2- Low-diversity limestone and dolomitic siltstone—restricted subtidal 3- Glauconite-rich dolomitic siltstone-lowest intertidal 5- Dolomitic siltstone with vertical burrows and lingulates –low intertidal 6- Laminated green dolomitic siltstone-intermediate intertidal 7- Laminated mud-cracked dolomitic siltstone-high intertidal

Lithology

High-frequency stratigraphic variation in microfacies, correspond to those of magnetic susceptibility and gamma radiation. This suggests that through-going gamma ray cycles are eustatic.
