94 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY-TWELFTH ANNUAL REPORT 
cyclina or other forms that would suggest the Ocala and an entire 
absence of Nummulites. Also there are. no specimens of Orbito- 
lina nor traces of the brownish limestone associated with it. The 
inference thus may be drawn that no formations older than the 
Oligocene are represented here. 
This lack of these formations is unexpected, for as the local¬ 
ity is nearly in a direct line between Bushnell, Tiger Bay and Mar¬ 
athon wells it might be expected to show both Ocala and Lower 
Cretaceous. Fort Myers is, however, somewhat to the west and 
if the general axis of the Florida peninsula is considered, is more 
to the west of that line than the other localities mentioned. 
WELL OF THE OKEECHOBEE ICE AND ELECTRIC COM¬ 
PANY AT OKEECHOBEE, OKEECHOBEE 
COUNTY, FLORIDA. 
Depth of well 775 feet. Surface Pleistocene. Samples to 500 
feet only. Casing, 150 feet of 10-inch, 307 feet of 8-inch, and 
6-inch casing, amount not given. 
41-56 feet. A very few foraminifera which suggests Pliocene. 
56-62 feet. Broken specimens of little value. 
65-81 feet. Rare broken specimens of little value. 
87-500 feet. Specimens few and rare throughout but all are characteristically 
Miocene. 
PROBABLE STRATIGRAPHY. 
As the surface material is Pleistocene this is evidently litiiited 
to the levels above 41 feet. The Pliocene also is limited jn its 
thickness for the sample marked “87-94 feet” is evidently Mio¬ 
cene. The Miocene seems to continue to the 500-foot level at 
least. 
From the log of the well the following occur according to Seh 
lards, who examined the samples: 
510 feet. White limestone rock with fragments of echinoderm spines. 
608 feet. Chiefly sand. 
615 feet. White limestone with many fossils. 
775 feet. Limestone powdered fine by the drill.
