The Wittering Formation is a geologic formation in England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Paleogene period. [1]
The Williamsport Sandstone is a sandstone geologic formation in West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. The formation includes the Cedar Creek Limestone member. Near Cumberland, Maryland it includes the Cedar Creek Limestone member. It preserves fossils dating back to the Silurian period.
The Liberty Formation is a geologic formation in Ohio and Indiana. It preserves fossils dating back to the Ordovician period.
The Maroon Formation is a geologic formation in Colorado. It preserves fossils dating back to the Permian period. It is the primary formation of sandstone that lends the vivid red color to the hills around Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
The Knipe Scar Limestone is a geologic formation in England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Spilsby Sandstone is a geologic formation in England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Durlston Formation is a geologic formation in England. Particularly in the Isle of Purbeck. It preserves fossils dating back to the Berriasian stage of the Lower Cretaceous.
The Carstone Formation is a geological formation in England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Albian stage of the Cretaceous period. It predominantly consists of "greenish-brown, thick-bedded, cross-bedded, oolitic ferruginous sandstone".
The Osgodby Formation is a geologic formation in England. It comprises rocks and fossils dating from the Callovian age of the Jurassic period.
The Fullers Earth Formation is a geological formation that outcrops in southern England. It is also mostly present in the subsurface of the Wessex Basin and offshore in the English Channel Basin, Celtic Sea Basin and St George's Channel Basin. It preserves fossils dating back to the Bathonian stage of the Middle Jurassic series such as the pterosaur Dolicorhamphus. It is the lateral equivalent of the Rutland Formation, Sharp's Hill Formation, Calcaire d’Ecouché, and Calcaire de Caen
The Weston Flags Formation is a geological formation in Shropshire, England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Darriwilian stage of the Ordovician period.
The Llanfallteg Formation is a geologic formation in Wales. It preserves fossils dating back to the Ordovician period. It predominantly consists of ash containing siltstones, as wells as ash fall deposits and tuffs. It likely dates to the Darriwilian based on graptolites. The local graptolite fauna includes Didymograptus artus and Glossograptus armatus. The local trilobite fauna includes agnostids, phacopids and asaphids.
The Headon Formation is a geological formation found in Hampshire, England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Bartonian stage (Eocene).
The Headon Hill Formation is a geological formation found in the Isle of Wight and south Hampshire, England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Priabonian stage.
The Woolwich Formation is a geological formation in southeast England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Paleogene period.
The Whitcliffe Formation is a geologic formation in England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Silurian period.
The Ledbury Formation is a geologic formation in Herefordshire, England.
The Downton Castle Sandstone is a geologic formation in England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Silurian period. As its name would suggest the formation predominantly consists of sandstone with minor siltstone and mudstone. The oldest known Trigonotarbid Palaeotarbus is known from the formation.
The Weybourne Crag Formation is a geologic formation in England. It preserves fossils.
The Solent Group is a geological group in the Hampshire Basin of southern England. It preserves fossils ranging in age from Priabonian to Rupelian. The group is subdivided into three formations, the Headon Hill Formation, the Bembridge Limestone Formation and the Bouldnor Formation.
The Selborne Group is a geologic group in England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period. It comprises the Gault Formation and the overlying Upper Greensand Formation.
