Notes | βThe Alsea Formation, Yaquina Sandstone, and Nye Mudstone make up a sequence of almost 3300 m of Oligocene-Miocene marine strata. It is one of the thickest and most continuous records of the mid-Cenozoic in Oregon, yet dating of these rocks has been imprecise in the past.β (from the Abstract) |
