| Sample #93LM7 - Slater Creek Member (Oregon) | Wells R. E., Jayko A. S., et al (2000) | Umpqua - Bushnell Rock - Slater Creek | From Slater Creek Member of the Bushnell Rock Formation, Umpqua Group. This is equivalent to strata formely referred to as Bushnell Rock Member and Umpqua Formation and time equivalent to Lookingglass Formation. The Slater Creek Member unconformably overlies the Siletz RIver Volcanics and underlies the Tenmile Formation. Macrofossil biostratigraphy suggests a Late Paleocene to Late Eocene age, but the member is more precisely dated as Penutian (C24n/CP10)=Ypresian. | sandstone | 56 - 47.8 Ma Eocene |
