Lithology and Distribution of the Suwannee, Ocala and Avon Park Members of the Port Everglades Formation in Indian River County, Florida

By

George O. Winston

ABSTRACT

Bermes (1958) reported the presence of "Oligocene", Ocala and Avon Park in Indian River County. He also reported Ocala fauna in the Avon Park and faulting along the coast, both of which I also observed. I reexamined a number of his wells to see if his report of these formations agreed with my recent lithologic redefinitions. Although we disagree on the unit boundaries, we agree that these three units are present. Two age dates from Brewster-Wingard (1997) indicate that what I am calling Suwannee is late Eocene in age. Interfingering and faunal discrepancies from their supposed formations characterize the subject rocks. In addition to occurring in Avon Park lithologies, Ocala foraminifera also occur in Suwannee lithology.
