| Comments | On Austin Sheet (1974) in areas where Pecan Gap Chalk is not present because of gradation to marl similar to that of the Marlbrook and Ozan Formations. Upper 250 ft, mostly silty, calcar. clay with sandst beds and concretionary masses near top, some interbeds of sandst. near base. Lower 200+- ft, quartz sand, fine grained, silty, locally calcar. concretions in discontin. beds, lt. gray; marine megafossils. Mapped on Sherman Sheet (1967) east of Sabine River. Taylor Group includes claystones of the Sprinkle Formation at base, chalk or marly limestones of the Pecan Gap Fm, and overlain by claystones of the Bergstrom Formation. |
