Part II - State of New Jersey

APPENDIX CDISCUSSION1. The most significant part of the fauna here described is the materialobtained from Core 16 between the depths of 1648 and 1658 feet(near Harrisville, Burlington County, New Jersey). The fossils arebelieved to come from the Raritan formation (basal Upper Cretaceous)and to be closely related to the fauna of the Woodbine formation ofTexas as recently described by Stephenson (1952 = 1953).2. A core from Boring 17 at a depth of 1710 feet consists of massivefossiliferous limestone quite unlike anything reported from the Raritanformation. Horvever, judging by its fauna and by its position in thesection, it is clearly part of the Raritan formation. (Plate 94, Figure 9).NEW JERSEY GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
