| Sample CR-R [Trent Fm] | Zullo V. A., Baum G. R. (1979) | Trent | LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From Trent Formation, for which lithostratigraphic relationships are not discussed. AGE: Rupelian, following other collections. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position in section. | rudstone | 33.9 - 28.1 Ma Oligocene |
| Martin Marietta Quarry [Santee Limestone] | Campbell D. (1995) | Santee Limestone | From Santee Formation, which is overlain unconformably by the Cross Formation, or Cross Member of the Santee Formation. The Santee Formation is also considered to be equivalent in age to the "McBean" Formation, while the Cross Formation is a down-dip equivalent of the lower Clinchfield Formation. The contact between the Santee Formation (s.s.) and the Cross Formation is approximately equivalent to the contact between the Lisbon Formation and Gosport Sand in the Gulf Coast. These are of Claiborni | "limestone" | 47.8 - 41.3 Ma Eocene |
