Sta. 5252 - Ingleside [Santee Limestone] (Eocene of the United States)

Also known as Loc. 162

Where: Spartanburg County, South Carolina (35.1° N, 82.2° W: paleocoordinates 35.2° N, 74.0° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Santee Limestone Formation, Late/Upper Eocene (37.2 - 33.9 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Santee Limestone, which presumably regionally underlies the Cooper Marl and unconformably overlies the McBean Fm, and is regionally correlative with the Barnswell Sand. AGE: Late Eocene. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From abandoned marl pit (now under water).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: poorly lithified, white, yellow limestone

• ENVIRONMENT: Shallow marine, shelfal carbonate.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: White-cream colored limestone; loosely compacted, sometimes indurared. LITHIFICATION: Poorly-lithified, on the basis of facies description.

Size class: macrofossils
