Stratigraphy
Formation:Keasey Member:Lower
Stratigraphic resolution:bed
Stratigraphy comments: Lower member consists of 0-150 m of dark gray, highly micaceous, laminated siltstone and interbedded mudsone. Glaucontitc layers are not uncommon. The Keasey Formation consists of a maximum of 700 m of gray tuffaceous marine siltstone and massive mudstone discontinuously exposed in quaries, road and railway cuts, and along major drainages. The Keasey Fm overlies the late Eocene Cowlitz Fm, and underlies the Pittsburg Bluff Fm. Fm is subdivided into three informal members.
