Time
| Period: | Neogene | Epoch: | Miocene |
| 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 5 | ||

Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Kirkwood | Member: | Shiloh Marl | ||
| Local section: | Millville | ||||
| Regional section: | Cumberland | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | member | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: No lithostratigraphic details or stratigraphic relationships provided in text. Equivalent in age and slightly older than the Calvert Formaiton of Maryland and Virginia. Overlain by the Cohansey Sand with a time transgressive contact, Kirkwood Formation is Burdigalian-Langhian in age. Collection from various levels in the well, but mostly from between the deptths of 212 and 580 ft. The base of Miocene and the top of the Vincentown (Eocene) is thought to be at 580 ft. Additional material was obtained from another local well between 212 and 255 ft. | |||||
