Blaylock Sandstone
The Blaylock Sandstone is a Silurian geologic formation in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas and Oklahoma. First described in 1892,[4] this unit was not named until 1909 by Albert Homer Purdue in his study of the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas.[2][3] Purdue assigned the Blaylock Mountain in Montgomery County, Arkansas as the type locality, but did not designate a stratotype. As of 2017, a reference section for this unit has yet to be designated.

gollark: What optics stuff is involved anyway? Do you just shine light through a transparent display onto some glass? How do you (un?)focus it so it can be seen properly without having to focus your eye impractically close?
gollark: I see.
gollark: Anyway, what sort of ideas did you have for actually *using* the glasßßsessß?
gollark: WebAssembly_irl.
gollark: Fascinating. This is highly codelike.
