Paleogene
The Paleogene ( ; British English, also spelled Palaeogene or Palæogene; informally Lower Tertiary or Early Tertiary) is a geologic period, geologic period and system that spans 43 million years from the end of the Cretaceous Period million years ago (annum, Mya) to the beginning of the Neogene Period Mya. It is the beginning of the Cenozoic Era of the present Phanerozoic Eon. The earlier term Tertiary Period was used to define the span of time now covered by the Paleogene Period and subsequent Neogene Period; despite no longer being recognised as a formal stratigraphy, stratigraphic term, 'Tertiary' is still widely found in earth science literature and remains in informal use. Paleogene is often abbreviated "Pg" (but the United States Geological Survey uses the abbreviation PE for the Paleogene on the Survey's geologic maps). During the Paleogene, evolution of mammals, mammals diversified from relatively small, simple forms into a large group of diverse animals in the wake of ...

Barton Beds
Barton Beds (now the Barton Group) is the name given to a series of grey and brown clays, with layers of sand, of Upper Eocene age (around 40 million years old), which are found in the Hampshire Basin of southern England. They are particularly well exposed in the cliffs at Barton-on-Sea, which is the type locality for the Barton Beds, and lends its name to the Bartonian age of the Eocene epoch. The clay is abundant in fossils, especially molluscs. The beds are found in the Hampshire Basin, and are well exposed in the cliffs of Barton, Hordle, and on the Isle of Wight.Archibald Geikie, (1903), ''Text-book of Geology, Volume 2'', page 1233. The cliffs at Barton are the world type locality for the Barton Beds.Janet M. Hooke, (1998), ''Coastal Defence and Earth Science Conservation'', pages 246-7. Geological Society. The beds consist of grey, greenish and brown clays with bands of sand and have long been well known for the abundance and excellent preservation of their fossils. More t ...

Stone City Formation
The Stone City Formation is a geologic formation in Texas. It preserves fossils dating back to the Paleogene period. Now known as ''Stone City Bluff'' in Burleson County, Texas, it is a special location on the Texas Gulf Coast Plain. It is the best of relatively few places where marine rocks of Paleogene age are exposed and available for public access. This access provides a window into Middle Eocene rocks that were deposited in the Gulf of Mexico approximately 41.8 million years ago.https://www.hgs.org/sites/default/files/MGB_FLIS_2_23_15.pdf See also * List of fossiliferous stratigraphic units in Texas * Paleontology in Texas Paleontology in Texas refers to paleontological research occurring within or conducted by people from the U.S. state of Texas.

Castle Hayne Limestone
The Castle Hayne Limestone (also called the Castle Hayne Formation) is a Formation (geology), geologic formation in North Carolina. It consists of cobble to pebble sized clastic rocks, clasts, usually rounded, coated with phosphate and glauconite in a limestone matrix. The Castle Hayne Limestone is known for containing fossils dating back to the Paleogene Period (geology), period. It preserves many of North Carolina's renowned Eocene fossils. It is named after the locality of Castle Hayne, North Carolina, Castle Hayne in New Hanover County, North Carolina, New Hanover county, though the formation itself stretches over several counties. Description The Castle Hayne Formation is divided into three submembers: the New Hanover member, the Comfort Member, and the Spring Garden Member. The New Hanover member is the oldest member and is characterizes by cobbles and pebbles, fine sand, glauconite, and phosphate in a fine limestone matrix. The most common fossils are shark and ray teeth. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
