| J32/f1 - Stillwater Mudstone, Power Road | Maxwell P. A. (1988) | Blue Bottom - Stillwater Mudstone | STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Stillwater Mudstone, which overlies the Inangahua Formation (Otaian-Altonian) and underlies the Eight Mile Formation (Tongaporutuan-Waipipian) of the Blue Bottom Group. The Stillwater Mudstone includes the Tindale Limestone Member. AGE: Macrofossil biostratigraphy indicates a Waiauan-Tongaporutuan age, while microfossils suggest a Waiauan age. | siltstone | 12.7 - 11.608 Ma Miocene |
