Unit Subunit Lithology Comments
1 1A Silty clays with dropstone Massive interbedded with laminated horizons
1B Silty clays Laminated interbedded with massive horizons
1C Sandy clays Alternation of laminated and massive horizons
2   Fine sands and brownish clays with dropstone Grading basal conglomerate (angular phosphatic? gravels) just above the boundary
3 3A Silty clays with silts and fine sands overlain by oyster bed at the top Shells are infilled with phosphatic mineral; sandy beds are abundant in the upper part; highly variable in grain size, carbonate contents, and color
3B Silty clays Massive throughout the subunit
3C Silty clays to fine sands Sandy beds decrease upward; dolomite beds in the lower part
