This article contains a list of fossil-bearing stratigraphic units in the state of Iowa, U.S.
The Chouteau Limestone is a geologic formation in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Keokuk Limestone is a geologic formation in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Mississippian sub-period.
The Warsaw Formation is a geologic formation in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Mississippian subperiod.
The Franconia Formation is a geologic formation in the upper mid-western United States, with outcroppings found in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cambrian period. It was named the Franconia Formation due to the first published documentation of exposures in vicinity of Franconia, Minnesota in the 1897 Ph.D. dissertation by Charles P. Berkley at the University of Minnesota titled Geology of the St. Croix Dalles. The Franconian stratigraphic stage was named after this formation.
The Burlington Limestone is a geologic formation in Missouri, Iowa and the Midwest region. It preserves fossils dating back to the Mississippian subperiod.
