Stratigraphy
| Geological group: | Vicksburg | Formation: | Chickasawhay | ||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Chione bed of Chickasawhay marl, which is one of the lowest beds. Poag (1972) placed the Chickasawhay stage (including the formation) in the "Globigerina angulisuturalis and Globigerina angulisuturalis/Globorotalia opima opima Zones, as defined by Blow (1969, zones N.2 and N.3)." According to Miller et al. (2008), "the base of the Chickasawhay Formation is a major disconformity that represents the major mid-Oligocene unconformity of Vail et al. (1977). This surface was dated precisely for the first time at the St. Stephens quarry (Alabama) by Miller et al. (1993) as late chron C11r (ca. 30.1 Ma) and correlated with the oxygen isotope increase associated with Oi2 (Miller et al., 1993)." Denison et al. (1993) also inferred a late Rupelian age for the lower part of the formation from strontium isotopes. This is consistent with planktonic foram N2 within the formation, which is latest Rupelian (chron C10). | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | lithified "limestone" |
| Environment: | deep subtidal ramp |
| Geology comments: Miller et al., 2008: The depositional environment of the Chickasawhay Formation and sequence is middle neritic, based on qualitative examination of benthic foraminifera. | |
