Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Caloosahatchee | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: the collections described in this paper are from limestone dredged from ditches to form the roadbed of the Tamiami Trail and thus not found in situ, but judged by author to be from the same bed.
AGE: Assigned here to an Early Pleistocene age. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | gray,white lithified sandy "limestone" |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: Dirty-white to gray, rather hard, porous, nonoolitic limestone iwth inclusions of clear angular quartz grains. The cavities were orginally occupied by the tests of organisms, mainly mollusks. Some of these cavities are now partly filled with small, rounded, attached limy bodies. | |
| Environment: | marine indet. |
