Major
Unconsolidated > Fine-detrital > ClayResiduum on Oligocene sediments - The undifferentiated Oligocene residuum, mapped on parts of the Chattahoochee “Anticline”, characteristically consists of reddish brown, variably sandy clay with inclusions of variably fossiliferous, silicified limestone (Huddlestun, 1993). The residuum includes Lower and Upper Oligocene weathered sediments (Huddlestun, 1993).
Minor
Unconsolidated > Coarse-detrital > SandResiduum on Oligocene sediments - The undifferentiated Oligocene residuum, mapped on parts of the Chattahoochee “Anticline”, characteristically consists of reddish brown, variably sandy clay with inclusions of variably fossiliferous, silicified limestone (Huddlestun, 1993). The residuum includes Lower and Upper Oligocene weathered sediments (Huddlestun, 1993).
