Description
Summary:possibly earliest Eocene based on its content of palynomorphs. The palynomorph assemblage is dominated by long ranging taxa and reworked Upper Cretaceous species. The Late Paleo-cene age of the formation is based on the occurrence of Cerodinium speciosum and Spinidin-ium pilatum. However, the presence of Cerodinium markovae, Spinidinium sagittula, and?Ilexpollenites sp. suggests that the formation may range into the earliest Eocene.
