Stratigraphy
Geological group:Smoky Formation:Kaskapau Member:Doe Creek
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Lies above the Dunvegan Formation within marine shale of the Kaskapau Formation. The marine shales and sandstone of the lower Kaskapau Formation grade westerly and northwesterly into deltaic sandstone which become indistinguishable from those of the underlying Dunvegan Formation (Stelck and Wall, 1955; Stelck, 1962; Stott, 1967; Singh; 1983). AGE: Late Cenomanian, on the basis of ammonoid and foraminiferal biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position in local section.
