Summary:
Pg. 6-7. †Inglis formation of †Ocala Group. Puri (1957) raised Ocala to group and recognized formations [Crystal River, Inglis, and Williston] based on foraminiferal faunas. As a result of the biostratigraphic nature of these subdivisions, formation recognition is often difficult. In keeping with the intent of the Code of Stratigraphic Nomenclature, in this text, the Florida Geological Survey is returning to the use of the Ocala Limestone terminology. (See entry under Ocala.)
