Stratigraphy
| Stratigraphic resolution: | formation | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Unknown lithostratigraphic data. Table of known taxon biostratigraphic distribution suggests a Pliocene age. Amussium mortoni, Anomia simplex, Laevicardium sublineatum, and Ficus [Pyrula] papyratia are all know from the Yorktown and Waccamaw Formations = Early Pliocene. Text also suggests an "inferior Pliocene" age, though does not discount Miocene age. | |||||
