[Danville Landing group; Danville Landing beds. Synonymous terms applied to uppermost part of Jackson formation of Louisiana and Mississippi by M.A. Hanna, D. Gravell, and J. McGuirt (11th Ann. Field Trip Shreveport Geol. Soc., 1934, table opp. p. 30, p. 35-37). Not described, but said to "correspond to Cocoa sand of Cushman and to be younger than typical Cocoa sand. Said to overlie Yazoo "group," but apparently the beds were in previous reports included in Yazoo of Mississippi. Fossils mentioned.
