First used as top member of Boquillas Formation (revised) of Terlingua Group (revised) of Gulfian Series in San Vicente-Hot Springs area, Big Bend National Park, Brewster Co, TX in the Permian basin. Type not designated; derivation of name not stated. Overlies Ernst Member (new) of Boquillas with contact at erosion surface; beds below and above diastem noted to be difficult to distinguish unless fossiliferous. Includes Udden's (1907) lower Terlingua Beds and Adkins' (1933) Austin-age chalk unit. Is gray to buff argillaceous, flaggy limestone. Is normally 330 to 400 ft thick; locally thins to 130 ft. Fossils noted. INOCERAMUS UNDULATOPLICATUS zone is noted to be useful in locating the top of the unit; occurs abundantly in chalky limestone ledge 15-20 ft below top of member. Correlates with lower Austin Chalk in central TX. Age is early Coniacian (Late Cretaceous).

Named upper member of two in Boquillas Formation (revised), Terlingua Group (revised), Gulfian Series. Named from old village of San Vicente, Big Bend National Park, Brewster Co, TX (Permian basin). Type locality about 2 mi northeast of old village, immediately east of USGS benchmark elevation 1,881. Type section about 1 mi east of abandoned village, 331.5 ft thick. Mostly 350-400 ft thick in Big Bend National Park, thins locally to 130 ft. Gray, thin- to medium-bedded, chalky and argillaceous limestone flags interbedded with gray or yellowish-gray platy marl or soft gray marl; some limestone layers as thick as 12-18 in, most are 2-6 in thick. Contains more, thicker marl intervals and more chalk than underlying Ernst Member (new); flagstone decreases upward. Chalky ledge 15-20 ft below upper contact with Pen Formation (new) contains abundant INOCERAMUS UNDULATOPLICATUS. Fossil ammonites, pelecypods, echinoids, foraminifers identified. Fossils indicate Austin age. Correlates (table 2) with lower part of Austin Chalk (without EXOGYRA PONDEROSA) in Rio Grande embayment of southwest TX; with (ascending) Atco Chalk, Vinson Chalk, and Jonah Limestone in central TX; with (ascending) Ector Chalk, Bonham Clay, and Blossom Sandstone in northeast TX. Correlates (pl. VIII) with upper part of Sawmill Mountain, and all of Fizzle Flat Members of Boquillas Formation in Agua Fria area, northwest of Park. Coniacian and Santonian, Late Cretaceous age.
