Marine sandstone, siltstone, and mudstone (lower Eocene and Paleocene?) (ORTmsm;0)

Rhythmically interbedded sandstone, siltstone, and mudstone with minor conglomerate; deposited in deep-sea fan depositional setting on submarine basalts of the Siletz River Volcanics. Contains foraminiferal faunas referred to the Penutian Stage of early Eocene age and locally contains assemblages of probable Paleocene age (McKeel and Lipps, 1975; P.D. Snavely, Jr. and David Bukry, written communication, 1980). Included by Diller (1898) in the Umpqua Formation; Baldwin (1974) and Ryberg (1984) mostly mapped unit as sedimentary rocks of the Roseburg Formation of the Umpqua Group; according to Heller and Ryberg (1983) and Molenaar (1985), may be partly correlative with the Lookingglass Formation of Baldwin (1974). Includes lower Eocene-Paleocene turbidite sedimentary rocks exposed at Five Mile Point, about 11 km north of Bandon, that are considered by Snavely and others (1980) to represent allochtonous terrane
