Unit is named the Governors Point Member of the Chuckanut Formation. Is exposed in the Bellingham Bay area in the western part of the largest outcrop belt of the Chuckanut, which extends from the San Juan Islands into the foothills of the North Cascades, WA. Consists of fining-upward beds of cross-stratified arkosic sandstone and massive to crudely stratified metagraywacke-rich conglomerate, representing braided-river deposits. Conformably overlies the Bellingham Bay Member (new) and unconformably underlies the Padden Member (new), both of the Chuckanut. Thickness is 375 m at the type section. Age is early middle Eocene based on the age of the tuff bed (49.9 Ma) at the top of the underlying Bellingham Bay Member. (B1565)
