Oligocene 23.03 - 33.9 Ma ID: 2866134 | Suwannee Limestone- Marianna Limestone undifferentiated Age: Oligocene (23.03 - 33.9 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Suwannee Limestone; Marianna Limestone Description: Undifferentiated Lower Oligocene Sediments - The undifferentiated Lower Oligocene sediments of the central panhandle consist of white to cream-colored, poorly to well indurated, variably fossiliferous limestones (grainstone, packstone, wackestone and mudstone). Glauconite occurs in some sediments. Siliciclastics form a minor component in some sediments. Thin beds of siliciclastics (Byram Marl and Buccatuna Formation) are included in the undifferentiated Lower Oligocene sediments. The Lower Oligocene carbonates form important parts of the upper FAS (Miller, 1986). Lithology: Major:{limestone}, Minor:{mixed clastic} Reference: Horton, J.D., C.A. San Juan, and D.B. Stoeser.
