The Caloosahatchee Formation is a geologic formation in Florida. [1] It preserves fossils dating back to the Pleistocene.
Hystrivasum horridum, common name the rough or shaggy vase, is a fossil species of medium-sized predatory gastropod in the family Turbinellidae. This species is extinct and is found in the Pleistocene deposits of Florida.
The Java Formation is a geologic formation in Kentucky, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia. It preserves fossils dating back to the Devonian period. The formation comprises the Pipe Creek Shale, Wiscoy Sandstone Member in New York, and Hanover Shale Member except in Tennessee.
The Okeechobee Group is a geologic group in Florida. The group preserves fossils dating back to the Neogene period. This group of formations in the Everglades were deposited when high tropical water started to return in the Late Zanclean Period.
