STRATIGRAPHIC AND PALEONTOLOGIC CHARACTERISTICS 



The Upper Cretaceous deposits of Maryland extend from the Delaware 

 border with gradually decreasing thicknesses to the valley of the Potomac 

 River, where they finally disappear in surface outcrop by the trans- 

 gression of the Tertiary deposits, which in Virginia rest directly on 

 Lower Cretaceous strata. 



The Upper Cretaceous deposits of Maryland are much less extensively 

 developed than to the northward in New Jersey, where they attain their
