Eocene 33.9 - 56 Ma ID: 2841315 | Wasatch Formation Age: Eocene (33.9 - 56 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Wasatch Formation Description: (Thrust Belt) Main body--Variegated red to gray, brown, and gray mudstone and sandstone; conglomeratic lenses. (in southwest Wyoming) - Drab to variegated claystone and siltstone, carbonaceous shale and coal, buff sandstone, arkose, and conglomerate. In northwestern part of Green River Basin is thick arkosic light-yellowish-tan sandstone intertonguing with pale-green to gray claystone and shale. (in east Wyoming) - Drab sandstone and drab to variegated claystone; numerous coal beds in lower part.

Eocene - Paleocene 33.9 - 66 Ma ID: 3347812 | Wasatch Formation Age: Paleogene (33.9 - 66 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Wasatch Formation Description: Lenticular interbeds of gray to light-brown, fine- to coarse-graine, locally conglomeratic, feldspathic to arkosic, crossbedded sandstone; dark- to light-gray or brownor greenish-gray shale, claystone, and siltstone.
