Book excerpt: Excerpt from Upper Cretaceous Ostracoda From North Carolina In surface exposures the Snow Hill marl mem ber consists of black to gray laminated sandy clay and interbedded sand, with varying amounts of fine-grained glauconite, marcasite aggregates, and black lignitized wood fragments. Most of the macrofossils consist of poorly preserved casts and molds, no calcareous shell material remaining. Lo cally, however, calcareous shell material has been preserved in a sandy clay matrix, and forms a drab-gray marl which reflects varying degrees of induration. The Peedee formation exhibits a vari able lithology in outcrop. In the southern part of the State it most nearly resembles the Snow Hill marl member lithologically, and it is very difficult to separate the two even where they occur in the same section. Along the strike to the northeast, i_n Lenoir, Pitt, and Greene Counties, the Peedee is composed of gray to green medium to coarse grained glauco'nitic Sand in a clay matrix contain ing varying amounts of calcareous shell material. Indurated beds composed mainly of the valves of Exog'yra costata Say and Exogym cancellata St'e phenson form prominent ledges along many of the streams.
