Cretaceous 66 - 145 Ma ID: 2902427 | Eutaw Formation Age: Cretaceous (66 - 145 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Eutaw Formation Description: Light-greenish-gray to yellowish-gray cross-bedded, well-sorted, micaceous, fine to medium quartz sand that is fossiliferous and glauconitic in part and contains beds of greenish-gray micaceous, silty clay and medium-dark-gray carbonaceous clay. Light-gray glauconitic fossiliferous sand, thin beds of sandstone, and massive accumulations of fossil oyster shells occur locally in the upper part of the formation in western AL (Tombigbee Sand Member). In eastern AL thin to thick-bedded accumulations of the fossil oyster Ostrea cretacea Morton occur throughout much of the formation. Lithology: Major:{sand,clay}, Minor:{coquina}, Incidental:{sandstone} Reference: Horton, J.D., C.A. San Juan, and D.B. Stoeser.
