Description: Calcareous nannofossils were examined from upper Paleocene and lower Eocene marine sediments from six coreholes that were drilled in southern New Jersey ; microfossil data from New Jersey were compared to and were found to be consistent with material examined from the Atlantic Coastal Plain of Alabama, Maryland and Virginia ; the biostratigraphic and lithostratigraphic data indicate continuous deposition across the Paleocene-Eocene boundary in this part of New Jersey.
