|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cape May (1100-1200 ft) - Kirkwood Formation | Richards H. G., Harbison A. (1942) | Kirkwood - Shiloh Marl | No lithostratigraphic details or stratigraphic relationships provided in text. Equivalent in age and slightly older than the Calvert Formaiton of Maryland and Virginia. Overlain by the Cohansey Sand with a time transgressive contact, Kirkwood Formation is Burdigalian-Langhian in age. Collections from between depths of 1100 and 1200 ft. | sandstone | 23.03 - 15.97 Ma Miocene |
| Cape May (400-500 ft) - Kirkwood Formation | Richards H. G., Harbison A. (1942) | Kirkwood - Shiloh Marl | No lithostratigraphic details or stratigraphic relationships provided in text. Equivalent in age and slightly older than the Calvert Formaiton of Maryland and Virginia. Overlain by the Cohansey Sand with a time transgressive contact, Kirkwood Formation is Burdigalian-Langhian in age. Collections from between depths of 400 and 500 ft.
