| Stratigraphy comments: LITHOSTRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONSHIPS: From the Tamiami Formation, which unconformably underlies the Pinecrest Beds (=Pincrest Fm), and is correlative to the Choctawatchee Fm (=Jackson Bluff Fm) in Northern Florida and Yorktown Fm of North Carolina and Virginia. AGE: Early Pliocene-Late Pliocene according to Oyen and Portell, but assigned here to an Early Pliocene age. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position within formation. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | phosphatic,shelly/skeletal,gray lithified calcareous sandstone |
| Secondary lithology: | phosphatic,gray,green lithified sandy,calcareous claystone |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: GENERAL LITHOLOGY: Includes light gray to tan fossiliferous sands, light gray to green fossiliferous sandy clays and clayey sands, and white to light gray, poorly consolidated, sandy, fossiliferous limestone (pictured below). Phosphate is present in virtually all lithologies as limited quantities of sand- to gravel-sized grains. | |
| Environment: | carbonate indet. |
| Geology comments: ENVIRONMENT: Shallow carbonate setting, probably firmground, based on high epifaunal content. | |
Taphonomy

| Size of fossils: | macrofossils,microfossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection methods: | field collection,survey of museum collection |
| Reason for describing collection: | general faunal/floral analysis |
| Museum repositories: | USNM |
| Collection method comments: COLLECTORS: Multiple collectors, probably including Mansfield, A. Olsson, and R. Petit. REPOSITORY: USNM. | |
| Taxonomic list comments:COVERAGE: Exhaustive for echinoidea, with charactersitic bivalvia, gastropoda, and cirripedia. NOMENCLATURE: Relatively modern echinoid nomenclature, but somewhat antiquated molluscan nomenclature, although identified to species and subgenus resolution. | |
