Oldest (Early Tertiary) subsurface carbonate rocks of St. Croix, USVI, revealed in a turbidite-mudball.
Ranging in age from early Eocene to early Miocene and younger, pelagic foraminifers form the major component of a phenoclastic mudball within a fossiliferous turbidite. The turibidite is part of a more than 12m-thick section of biogenic deposits of middle Miocene age.-from Author
