The St. George Formation is a geologic formation in California. It preserves fossils dating back to the Pliocene period, including carbonized petrified wood. [1]
This formation is relatively rare, with the only known exposures occurring on the north side of Point St. George and at nearby Pebble beach, both west of Crescent City, California.
