| Sample #94W-6a - Myrtle Group (Oregon) | Wells R. E., Jayko A. S., et al (2000) | Myrtle - Dotham | Presumably from Dotham Formation, Myrtle Group. Lithostratigraphy is unclear. The Myrtle Group consists of Late Jurassic and Early to Middle Cretaceos turbidite and mass flow deposits considered to be either arc basin and or post-orogenic flysch basins syntectonic with waning phases of arc collapse. The Dotham Formation comprises low grade sub-pumpellyite facies, and pumpellyite bearing graywacke and semischistose graywacke, and scattered limestone. Macrofossil biostratigraphy suggests an Valang | sandstone | 139.8 - 132.9 Ma Early/Lower Cretaceous |
