samples of Ocala limestone from Ocala, near Citra, and near Gainesville, Florida, has resulted in the discovery of abundant specimens of Ortho-phragmina (Discocyclina) flintensis Cushman near Gainesville, and a very similar, but new, species at the other localities, and, thereby, has har-monized with other upper Eocene faunas the …
Lithologically resembles Ocala limestone at Ocala, but differs from it in character of its fauna. Also closely resembles "Peninsular" limestone. Thickness approximately 220 feet. It is believed to underlie Ocala limestone. In western Florida is unconformably overlain by beds belonging to Apalachicola group or by post-Pliocene …
My ID's are based on my guess that this pile is Lower Ocala Limestone based on the mix of echinoids. 1) My ID is Rhyncholampas ericsoni 2) Agree E. antilarium 3) Agree D. ocalana 4) Try Weisbodella cubae 5) I don't have an ID for this one. Thicker than I'm familiar with, but could just be a variation.
Summary: As now understood Ocala limestone comprises all rock of Eocene age exposed in Florida. This includes "Orbitoidal," Nummulitic," and "Millolitic" limestones …

Unconformably overlying the Ocala is the Suwannee Limestone of the Oligocene Epoch. It is a pale orange, finely crystalline, thin bedded, soft to hard, dense, porous, very fossiliferous limestone. The lithification varies from soft and friable to well indurated, highly recrystallized. In Jefferson and Taylor counties the Suwannee exhibits ...

There is a disconformable boundary between the Bumpnose Member of the Ocala Limestone and the overlying Oligocene Marianna Limestone. This base of the Marianna Limestone at the BQ exhibits lithologic similarities to the Mint Spring Formation, observed immediately overlying the Forest Hill Formation at the SSQ locality (Figs 2 c, 5 ).

Distribution Comments: Ocala Chert is thought to be associated with the Ocala Limestone Formation of the Jackson Group. It is primarily found as nodules and boulders along the bluffs of Flint River, along the crest of low rolling hills in Burke County, Georgia, and in southeastern Alabama. Concentrations are found in Houston and Henry counties ...
This thesis relates the unconfined compressive strength to index strength tests of Ocala limestone. The relationships developed include weathering states of the specimens and proximity of unconfined compressive strength specimens to index specimens. One hundred and ninety five specimens were classified using International Society for Rock ...
The Ocala Limestone in the Dougherty Plain region of southwest Georgia is a fine-grained, white or cream-colored, fossil-bearing limestone. It is believed to have formed in the quiet, open waters of the continental shelf far from land. The Ocala is very permeable and, along with the Avon Park beneath it and the Suwannee Limestone …
Florida has unique origins. What would become the basement rocks of Florida were once part of other continents. During the early part of the Cenozoic Era, Florida was submerged under a warm, shallow, ocean which explains why our entire state has hundreds to thousands of feet of limestone beneath it! Land emerged from the ocean as …

The Ocala Limestone consists of nearly pure limestones and occasional dolostones. It can be subdivided into lower and upper facies on the basis of lithology. The lower member is composed of a white to cream-colored, fine to medium grained, poorly to moderately indurated, very fossiliferous limestone (grainstone and packstone).
Pg. 30-36. Cyrstal River formation of Ocala group. In this report, includes all limestone containing Jackson Eocene orbitoid and camerinid faunas that underlie the Marianna limestone or younger beds and overlie beds of Cook Mountain (early middle Eocene) age with OPERCULINOIDES SABINENSIS. White to cream-colored soft …
In 1881 Eugene A. Smith announced the presence, underlying large areas in both western and peninsular Florida, of limestone which he correlated with the Vicksburg limestone of Mississippi and Alabama and designated by the term Vicksburg limestone. Among the localities he mentioned specifically are Marianna, in Jackson County, and Ocala, in …

Many carbonate rocks, such as limestone, are derived from skeletal material from marine organisms like corals, plankton, algae, gastropods, and sea urchins. ... The limestone unit that hosts much of the Floridan Aquifer is named the "Ocala Limestone Formation," a 33.9- to 55.6-Ma-old limestone formation (Martin and Dean 2001; Martin …

The Albany West Quadrangle is near the east edge of the Dougherty Plain of southwestern Georgia, an area of karst topography. The Ocala limestone (uppoer Eocene) underlies the quadrangle and crops out along the Flint River and its tributaries and sinkholes. Sinkholes of two ages are developed in the limestone. A gravelly argillaceous …
But the lake has never been permanent due to the prairie's geology. Separated from land surface by only 20 to 50 feet of clayey sands to sandy clays, limestone (called the Ocala Limestone ) is near land surface at Paynes Prairie. Limestone is a sedimentary rock made up of calcium-carbonate, which comes from skeletal and algal fragments of ...
