Sediments vary from poorly bedded clays to arenaceous shales with occasional lenticular beds of gray friable medium- to coarse-grained sandstones, which are best developed in lower third. Dominantly light gray. Sandstones suggest channel deposits by their cross-laminated and poorly sorted composition. Thickness averages about 113 feet on Table Mountains. Base corresponds to Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary, and is marked by distinct color change from tan to light brown. Underlies [/]Golden member (new). Age is Tertiary.

[The assignment of a unit to 2 adjacent formations, in one vertical sequence, is considered informal nomenclature (CSN, 1933; ACSN, 1961, 1970; NACSN, 1983, 2005, 2021). The use of a hyphen between undifferentiated formations is not considered proper notation (see CSN, 1933, Art. 13a, p. 437-438). Where the formations have not been separated in the field, it is considered proper notation to add the word "and", "undifferentiated", "included", etc.; and list formations in order of age (youngest first).]
