DescriptionMeeteetse Formation (Upper Cretaceous; southeast of Meeteetse, Wyoming, USA) 22 (48911408148).jpg
Wyoming's Meeteetse Formation is an Upper Cretaceous unit that consists of mixed siliciclastics and coal. It varies in thickness from a feather's edge (due to erosion) to almost 1,000 feet thick. In the deep subsurface, the Meeteetse reaches about 4,500 feet thick and can have up to 100 different coal horizons, some of which are 20 feet thick.
Locality: outcrop on the northeastern side of Route 120, southeast of the town of Meeteetse, southeastern Park County, northwestern Wyoming, USA
