Hawthorn Group, Coosawhatchie Formation, Charlton Member (Miocene/Pliocene) at surface, covers < 0.1 % of this area

Hawthorne Group, Coosawhatchie Formation, Charlton Member - The Charlton Member (originally the Charlton formation, Veatch and Stevenson, 1911), crops out only in northern Nassau County near and along the St. Marys River. The Charlton Member in this area consists primarily of light gray to greenish gray, poorly to moderately consolidated, dolomitic to calcareous, silty, sandy, locally fossiliferous clays. Few carbonate beds occur.
