Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Statenville | Member: | upper | ||
| Stratigraphy comments: said to be early Clarendonian; equivalent to the Berryville Clay Member of the Coosawhatchie Formation that occurs in the Statenvile stratigraphic position in eastern Georgia. The Berryville Clay Member contains a Zone N10 to N11 planktonic foraminiferal assemblage (Huddlestun, 1988) (now in the Langhian according to Gradstein et al. 2004) |
