Pg. 4 (table 1); App., p. A10-11 to A10-13. Branch River Member of Kewaunee Formation. Follows the informal usage of David M. Mickelson (McCartney and Mickelson, 1982, GSA Bull., v. 93, p. 297-302). Consists of brown till. Average thickness 2 m. Is the lowest of three members of Kewaunee Formation (new) in the Green Bay Lobe, east of an arbitrary vertical cutoff at the Fox River. Overlies dolomite bedrock, or till and gravel of the Horicon Formation (new). Underlies Chilton Member (new) of Kewaunee or is the surface unit. Distinguished from Horicon by redder color and less abundant sand, and from Chilton by more abundant sand. Is equivalent to Silver Cliff Member (new) of Kewaunee in the Green Bay Lobe, west of the arbitrary vertical cutoff at the Fox River, and to Ozaukee Member (new) of Kewaunee in the Lake Michigan Lobe. Age is late Pleistocene (late Wisconsinan).
