AGE: Eocene/Oligocene in text, on the basis of K/Ar dates, siliceous microfossil zonation, and molluscan biostratigraphy. Here assigned to Early Oligocene consistent with other collections from formation. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From coarse-grained sandstone unit near base of formation. | sandstone | 33.9 - 28.4 Ma Oligocene |
