The Pamlico Formation is a geologic formation in North Carolina. It preserves fossils dating back to the Neogene period. The name was suggested by L.W. Stephenson in the North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey journal in 1912 [1]
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 Big Clifty Formation is a geologic formation in Indiana. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Chesapeake Group is a geologic group in Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, and North Carolina. It preserves mainly marine fossils dating back to the Miocene and Pliocene epochs of the Neogene period. This group contains one of the best studied fossil record of Neogene oceans in the world. Professional Paleontologists and amateur fossil hunters alike collect from this group intensely. The Calvert Cliffs stretch the length of Calvert County, Maryland and provide the best continuous stretch of the Calvert, Choptank, and St. Marys Formations. Ward (1985) recommended including the Old Church Formation in this group.
The Peedee Formation is a geologic formation in North and South Carolina. A marine deposit, named for exposures along the Great Peedee River, it preserves belemnites and foraminifera fossils dating from the Late Cretaceous. The formation is notable for its occurrence of Belemnitella americana, known as the Pee Dee Belemnite (PDB), a long-standing standard in stable carbon isotope research.
The Cid Formation is a metavolcanic rock and mudstone geologic formation in North Carolina. It consists of a lower unnamed mudstone member with intermittent volcanic flows and the Flat Swamp Member, which is characterized by pyroclastic flows. It preserves fossils dating back to the Ediacaran period.
The Bear Bluff Formation is a geologic formation in North Carolina. It preserves fossils dating back to the Neogene period.
The Chowan River Formation is a geologic formation in North Carolina. It preserves fossils dating back to the Neogene period.
The Eastover Formation is a geologic formation in North Carolina. It preserves fossils dating back to the Neogene period.
The Pollocksville Formation is a geologic formation in North Carolina. It preserves fossils dating back to the Neogene period.
The Pungo River Formation is a geologic formation in North Carolina. It preserves fossils dating back to the Neogene period.
The Trent Formation is a geologic formation in North Carolina. It preserves fossils dating back to the Neogene period.
The Belgrade Formation is a limestone geologic formation in North Carolina characterized by limestone coquina mixed with sand, and thinly laminated clays. It preserves fossils dating back to the Paleogene period.
The Bluefield Shale is a geologic formation in Virginia. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Alfred Shale is a geologic formation at Alfred Station, New York. It preserves fossils dating back to the Devonian 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 Navarro Group is a geologic group in Arkansas, Texas and Coahuila, Mexico. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Appanoose Formation is a geologic formation in Missouri. 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 Wiota Gravels is a geologic formation in Montana. It preserves fossils dating to the Pleistocene.
The Ferron Sandstone Member of the Mancos Shale is a geologic unit in Utah. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period; and more specifically the middle Turonian.
