Title: Subsurface Stratigraphy and Lithology of Tuscaloosa Formation in Southeastern Gulf Coastal Plain

Author(s): Arthur C. Munyan (2)

Abstract:

The Tuscaloosa formation, which has, in the past, been classified both as Upper and as Lower Cretaceous, is examined from the subsurface viewpoint. The study was accomplished by means of deep wells located in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama.

Cuttings, cores, and log records seem to indicate the presence of a hitherto undetected marine zone within the Tuscaloosa. This zone is traced by lithologic changes and faunal content throughout the area mentioned. It is further suggested that the presence of this zone may account for the unsatisfactory determination of the stratigraphic position of the Tuscaloosa in eastern Georgia and South Carolina.
