Summary:

The Crowders Creek Metaconglomerate Member of the Battleground Formation is here named in the Kings Mountain belt, NC. It was mapped as the Draytonville Conglomerate Member of the Battleground by Keith and Sterrett (1931), as "schistose conglomerate" by Espenshade and Potter (1960), and as informal "bed E" by France and Brown (1981). It is the highest of three beds of quartz-pebble metaconglomerate in the Battleground and is separated from the underlying Draytonville Metaconglomerate Member by an unnamed unit of micaceous quartzite. Age is Late Proterozoic.
