Abstract
In the Coastal Plain of Delaware, the non-marine Cretaceous sands and clays
are separated from the Tertiary formations by a series of marine formations of Upper
Cretaceous age. The sedimentary and hydrologic characteristics of these formations
deserve detailed study because some of them are water-bearing beds. whereas others
act as confining beds. A clear understanding of their relative age. and the presence
or absence of unconformities is needed for proper correlation with formations found
in wells throughout the State. as well as in Maryland and New Jersey.
