The Appanoose Formation is a geologic formation in Missouri. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Saginaw Group is a geologic group in Michigan composed of sedimentary rock deposited during the Pennsylvanian Period (circa 323.2 million years ago to 298.9 million years ago. Saginaw group rocks include sandstone, shale, coal, and limestone of fresh water, brackish, and marine origin. Fossils dating back to the Penssylvanian Period can be found in Saginaw Group formations.
The Golconda Formation is a geologic formation in Kentucky. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period. In Indiana, the Golconda, it is called the Golconda Limestone and is part of the Stephensport Group.
The Cuba Formation is a geologic formation in New York (state) and Pennsylvania. It preserves fossils dating back to the Famennian age.
The Prairie Bluff Chalk is a geologic formation in Alabama and Mississippi. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Franconia Formation is a geologic formation in the upper mid-western United States, with outcroppings found in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cambrian period. It was named the Franconia Formation due to the first published documentation of exposures in vicinity of Franconia, Minnesota in the 1897 Ph.D. dissertation by Charles P. Berkley at the University of Minnesota titled Geology of the St. Croix Dalles. The Franconian stratigraphic stage was named after this formation.
The Compton Limestone is a geologic formation in southwest Missouri. It preserves brachiopod and echinoderm fossils of the Mississippian subperiod. The Compton rests unconformably on the Cotter Dolomite of Ordovician age. The Compton was named for the community of Compton, Missouri, as the type sections were described for outcrops along the James River and its tributary the Compton Branch.
The Morrow Formation is a geologic formation from the Pennsylvanian geological age that is found in locations ranging from Southeast New Mexico and West Texas to locations in Oklahoma, Southwestern Kansas, and Arkansas. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Strawn Formation is a geologic formation in Texas and New Mexico. According to Cummins (1891), the formation was named from the town of Strawn in Palo Pinto County, Texas. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Escondido Formation is a geologic formation in Texas and Coahuila, Mexico. It preserves fossils dating back to the Late Cretaceous period.
The Castle Reef Dolomite is a geologic formation in Montana. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period. Castle Reef is the type locality.
The Sawatch Formation is a geologic formation in eastern Colorado. It is a sedimentary sequence formed approximately 530 million years ago during a marine transgression. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cambrian period. It is composed of glauconitic and quartz-rich sandstone.
The Lehman Formation is a geologic formation in Utah. It preserves fossils dating back to the Ordovician period.
The Watahomigi Formation is a geologic formation in the Grand Canyon region of Arizona. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Renton Formation is a geologic formation in Washington (state) within the Puget Group. It preserves fossils dating back to the Paleogene period.
The Branch Canyon Formation is a geologic formation in California. It preserves fossils dating back to the Neogene period.
The Etchegoin Formation is a Pliocene epoch geologic formation in the lower half of the San Joaquin Valley in central California.
The Chanac Formation is a Cenozoic Era sandstone geologic formation in the southeastern San Joaquin Valley, within Kern County, California.
The Tulare Formation is a Pliocene to Holocene epoch geologic formation in the central and southern San Joaquin Valley of central California.
The Topanga Canyon Formation is a Miocene epoch geologic formation in the Santa Monica Mountains, Simi Hills, Santa Ana Mountains and San Joaquin Hills, in Los Angeles County, Ventura County, and Orange County, southern California. It is primarily composed of hard sandstone with some inter-bedded siltstone.
The Santa Susana Formation is a Paleogene period geologic formation in the Simi Hills and western Santa Susana Mountains of southern California.
